Assisting the Citizenry

Many wizards serve as administrators, advisors, or teachers, or hold other positions of responsibility in their communities. The local citizens are likely to barrage such wizards with a constant stream of requests for favors and assistance. Most of these requests will be trivial and easily addressed, but others might require the PC wizard to recruit the help of his player character companions.

Sometimes, a seemingly innocuous request ("Something's been into my crops-- I think it's a bunch of kids. Could you stop them?") might lead the PC wizard to believe that more is happening than meets the eye. He might summon his companions to help him investigate, and their discoveries could be the beginning of a long campaign. (The party discovers clawed footprints among the damaged crops. The footprints lead to a nearby forest, then abruptly vanish. What's going on?).
