In the depths of underground of stormreach lies a vault that hides the most glorious and powerful treasures known to man.
But, no adventurer has yet managed to come alive from the depths behind the caves of mind flyers and breach through the hives of beholders to attempt the challenge of of the vault.
It is a long forgotten tale that everyone thinks only exist as a story to scare little children to prevent them to enter the sewers.
But is that really the truth?
Or is there more hidden behind this simple tale?

Iosynne d'Phiarlan hired you to guard an ice cream truck bound for a region of the Menechtarun Desert known as the Lemon Sands by those daring enough to risk its wastes. Eskimos Pies, Creamcicles, Rocket Pops, Nutty Buddys and Dove Bars are desperately needed by the sweet-deprived people at Zawabi's Refuge, the only oasis safe from the scorrow, outsiders and gnolls who plague the Lemon Sands in search of tasty treats. Iosynne promises you your choice of one ice cream from the truck's stores so you don't ruin your dinner. And maybe one for later. If you're good.

Archer Paint Defense
The Archer Paint company of Stormreach has been the victim of paint vandalism.
Within recent weeks this company which has been a paragon of the business community for over 20 years has seen all sorts vandalism wreaked upon their business.
Within 24 hours any newly completed paint job, it has been defaced in some manner.
It has been most devastating as no one wants to hire the Archer Paint Company for their needs now.
You have been hired to discover who has been doing this and to bring an end to their terror so business can return to normal.
[Optional]
Lord Amanatu has staked a large bounty on bringing the individuals responsible for painting the rather large, garish, and most unflattering portraits of him on the sides of the buildings of fresh Archer paint jobs.
Rumour has it the Coin Lords reward will be substantial.

You meet a deranged duck who tells you about the colourful pastel eggs that lie hidden in tunnels under the city. But beware the squishy caramels that drop from the ceiling or slither out of pools! If the caramel touches your skin, armor or weapon, it'll burn because the caramel is still hot and we all know how much damage burning sugar can do.
Anyway, the objective is to defeat two kobold brothers, hopping around while inexplicably dressed in fuzzy pink bunny suits,

A Smell Problem (the sequel to the Carnival chain A Small Problem)
Glitter Underhill had a plan:
Step 1: Find the worst play ever written. (The Stormreaver Saga)
Step 2: Hire the worst director in town.
Step 3: Raise two million platinum.
Step 4: Hire the worst actor (Brawnpits)
Step 5: Close on House Phiarlan, take the platinum, and flee to Eveningstar!
But while the play is a stinker, it's also an unanticipated success with Brawnpits playing an unexpectedly camp Stormreaver! Nonetheless, the Coin Lords sniff out Underhill's deception and find her "incredibly guilty". You have also been found "slightly less guilty" for your part in getting Brawnpits to agree to to perform.
Now imprisoned you must escape and clear your name as the 'mostly innocent' folks you are. What follows is a madcap prison adventure where killing the guards is not an option, but helping Underhill put together a crack new musical is your only path to freedom!

The Church and the Cut
You're helping the Cultists of Vol run their church secretly underneath the Harbor ever since you drove them out of House Phiarlan. Now it's to go pick up your extor-I mean, your cut for helping them resettle and not reporting it to the Stormreach guard or the Silver Flame.
From Beyond the Rave
Hold back a crowd of inebriated youthful individuals who just left a dance party from desecrating Delera's Graveyard! They're coming at you with flashing weapons and glosticks, so pack some sunglasses!

Trouble is brewing between these two houses, especially if the Coin Lords allow this miller to stage the performance.
Your mission: Prevent a major incident from occurring between the two houses.

Through a Mirror Dorkly: A Shade Wizard with 6 Int uses a nether scroll to create a Wonderland ripoff and you have to stop him before he can summon the purple mist of laggy doom.
Wrath of the Fame: Malicia the succubus has become so famous her admirers (you) are trying to get her autograph, and possibly more: it's up to you (also you) to stop them.

Oh no, he did it again!
Who did what, you ask?
Haywire... he left the stove going. The really unfortunate part is, he got one of the Necromatic Cauldrons from House Szind, and it's on the burner! Fight your way past a horde of undead, through an absurdly complex locking system, and destroy the cauldron before The Truthful One appears!

Rumours have surfaced that Teh_Troll's whereabouts has been discovered.
You are sent on a mission to comb the underground lairs in House Phiarlan to save this once frequent contributor to the DDO forum.
Can you save him before his captors find a way to add nipples to him?

Sometimes life gives you lemons... and sometimes those lemons have bite... literally!
A heatwave has struck stormreach, but The Lemon Queen is in town, so all seems well. She is holding a festival to help parch the terrible thirst suffered by this hot weather, and you have joined in the fun! You must find the best ingredients in the land to make the best lemonade ever!! Once you gather your ingredients, it's time to make some lemonade! But this is not just a thirst quencher, this is a competition against the Lemon Queen herself! This is a timed quest where you must find the ingredients, defeat their guardians, and perform a ritual. Your rewards will be based on your score, determined by the quality of your ingredients divided by the time it took you to complete the quest. But beware! If your refreshing concoction is too good, the Lemon Queen will become jealous, and start a to-the-death bonus round (raid) where she goes berserk and starts turning people into living, ravenous lemons! Save the people, destroy the lemons that are beyond saving, prevent sour-face from becoming a permanent mark on the good folks of stormreach, and put the Lemon Queen away for her sudden bout of insanity!

Caught in the Wed - After luring you in with her sweet whispers of ambrosia, you wed Malicia only to find out now she wants you to constantly fix up the house, mow the lawn, shop for curtains and listen to her feelings, leaving no time left to play DDO :(
Mower Play - House Jurasco has a big lawn and someone's got to do the upkeep. And that someone is you! Race against time on your riding mower, battling chiggers and mosquitoes and finish the job before the evil crab grass and kudzu overtake you.

Get your skates and improvised skateboards ready, it's time to get radical!
Maneuver your way through kick-tastic obstacle courses and jump off some X-Treme ramps and perform wicked tricks!
Bonus points if you're wearing Heavy Armor.
Madstone Rater
Join the world-famous Madstone Rater as he annually checks the Madstone Crystals around the Ruins of Gianthold!
Watch him rate Madstone based on their density!
Watch him rate Madstone based on their effectiveness!
Watch him give sub-par ratings on not-so-great Madstones!
How exciting!
Cream Conspiracy
One day you're just taking a bite out of one of the Festivult Jester's magical cookies and-what's this? One of the cupcakes has no cream! Oh no! Whatever will we do without the cream icing on the delicious cupcake? Now it'll only Heal Minor Wounds rather than Light!
After extensive detective work, you have determined that someone else stole the cream from the cupcake from the cookie jar! Now you must question every individual in Stormreach and decide on who's truly foul enough to commit such a conspiracy against you.
The Faster Artificer (Meh, someone already did this title)
It's the Annual Cannith Marathon! And many of Cannith's Guards and Artificers are lined up determined to win the Gold Alchemical Cup! But uh-oh! Looks like Toven d'Cannith is up to no good once again! Can you stop his various creations and schemes to interfere and sabotage the race and take the trophy for himself?
The Lord of Blames
The Lord of Blades has started accusing everyone in town for various illicit misdeeds! But for what reason? I dunno, that's your job to find out, not mine!
The Lord of Dyes
Belashyrra's acting up (again, sigh) but instead of infesting the world with his ocular aberrations, he has instead decided to dye the world with purple and pink, the colors of Xoriat! Stop him before he colors the entirety of Stormreach purple-pink!
Granted, the colors would be mesmerizing, but you feel it would look ridiculous and the ambiance would totally clash with the outfits you have planned to wear for the Summer, and that's no good.
Fashion Sadness
Yaulthoon has decided to run his own fashion show in the cities of Stormreach! But he has received quite negative reviews, such as:
"The hat was terrible at bringing out their eyes."
"Did you pull these out of the dumpster or something?"
"Please tell the models to stop spewing acid on me."
"OH GOD IT BURNS WHY."
"The eyes....the eyes!"
"Ugh, that sweater was SO last century."
And have started to go on a rampage through the streets of Stormreach in angst. You know the drill, go hack-and-slash at stuff.
The Pawn of Whisperdoom
Whisperdoom the spider has been going through tough times, so she started pawning off her possessions.
The downside is that she's been pawning off some of her poisons and eggs, so you're starting to see spellcasting spiders and poisoned water supplies by generic third-rate villains everywhere.
Also Whisperdoom lost one of her chess pieces, so she wants you to go look for it while you're dealing with all the other stuff.
A Study in Table
Turns out while you were going on adventures throughout Eberron, when you received the Coin Lord Finishing School Training, it only provided half the credits you needed for the actual diploma!
Put on your Concentration Items, your best Clever items, and maybe a True Seeing or two, because you're going back to school to study off the other half!

The Sound of Xoriat
Still a raid, entrance is the same as Hound of Xoriat.
Now that Xyzzy has been slain the chamber where we fought her in has largely been unused for quite a long time. An elder beholder called The Captain has decided that this will not do, and the only logical usage of the chamber is... a massive concert! But how will he build the stage and get an audience? And who will play the music? This is where the raid steps in.
Phase 1: Building the stage
The Captain has decided that the best way to make a stage is to obviously use living floor tiles! The raid must work together to solve a massive puzzle that stretches out over the entire area of the map. All while the floor tiles are coming alive and hurling insults at you. Destroy the rogue floor tiles, solve the puzzle, and the tiles will agree to become your stage!
Phase 2: Finding Musicians
The Captain will open four portals to a variety of locations where you must seek out the most musically talented among the creatures located there. The catch is that they all believe they're the best! The raid will need to separate into multiple groups to find them all at the right time, otherwise the musicians will get bored when they arrive at the stage, and leave, forcing you to do it all over again. Each room has a specific puzzle to solve based on the residents.
Room 1: The Drummer - Four Hezrou are locked in competition figuring out which one is stronger. It is up to you to find the strongest by giving them all drums, and withstanding large constant sonic damage until all other hezrou tire out and you are left with the victor.
Room 2: The Guitarist - Three Flesh Renders greet you here. They already know they can shred, but can they shred on a guitar? In a change from most quests, it is up to the party to send the Flesh Renders through a gauntlet of traps. The group manages which traps spawn, and only one render may survive, but he has to survive. If all three die, or if more than one are left alive, the renders will respawn with either a buff or debuff depending on whether they died or survived, making further runs more difficult. Who among the raid is the best dungeon master?
Room 3: The Vocalist - Two Mindflayers are locked in mental combat with one another and it is up to you to enter their minds and help one or the other become victorious. While in their minds you will be swarmed with bats all armed with Greater Shout, and it is up to you to lead them through a maze to shout the other mindflayer to death. Upon exiting their minds, the surviving mindflayer will not only be willing to help you, but will suddenly be armed with the knowledge of Greater Shout... curious.
Room 4: The Surprise Guest - Entering this portal takes you... outside the raid? In the subterrane another beholder named Maria is waiting for you. She challenges you to a music contest! She is only able to be damaged by Sonic damage or weapons that deal sonic damage. Maria herself uses a unique set of bagpipes that deal damage of varying elements, but sonic damage is always included. Sometimes her music will add random effects such as stat draining, blindness, or...nausea. When you get her HP low enough she will agree to assist you.
When all 4 musicians are assembled in the main chamber they will take their place on the stage... but there's no audience to play for! So they will sit and be angry.
Phase 3: The Audience
The Captain has decided that the very best audience ever would have to be a group of mindless undead! He opens a massive portal from which wave upon wave of living beings will appear. Your task is to slay them as close as you can to the Captain, who will then raise them as undead. You must reach a certain number of undead before this phase is considered complete. But be wary! The newly raised undead are in the mood to mosh, and will assault the closest living person to them! They are also capable of being harmed, so you must watch their HP and try not to kill them, all while simultaneously slaying more and more living creatures near the Captain. What fun!
Phase 4: The Grand Finale
The raid gets to take a break while listening to the show! But it is cut short... as it seems that the Captain was not completely honest about his intentions. After the end of the show he devours all of the band and absorbs their musical might, transforming him into floating noisebox of DOOM! The raid must deal with multiple phases of one final boss fight as the Captain unleashes his newfound might against you, all while now dealing with an angry horde of undead!
Phase 1: The Horde
The Captain unleashes the angry audience upon you, mostly just because they were annoying him. But he fuels their anger by playing the drums... poorly. A clatter of noise causes increasing sonic damage over time, while adding sonic damage to every zombie's already powerful melee. When every zombie is slain, phase 2 begins.
Phase 2: Shred ALL the things
The Captain pulls out a guitar and stuns the entire raid for 10 seconds. During this time he summons traps that must be disabled immediately or they will tear apart the raid with massive slashing damage. The Captain is still unable to be harmed during this time. Once every trap is disabled or the raid is dead, phase 3 either begins or the entire raid releases and cries.
Phase 3: Bleeding Ears
Finally, the Captain becomes able to be damaged, as he begins to let his guard down. After another period of stunning the group for 10 seconds he summons a backing choir of mindflayers while he belts his heart out. During this phase he is vulnerable to weapon damage, but unable to be harmed by sonic. His shouting is not sonic damage, but force. The mindflayers will constantly use Greater Shout on the group from every direction, and if they are killed it will cause The Captain to deal increasing damage with his own shouting. When he reaches 50% HP the next phase will begin, and his mindflayers will disappear.
Phase 4: The Sound of Xoriat
The Captain senses that he is losing this fight and calls upon the Bagpipes of Despair for one final showdown. His bagpipes function similarly to Maria's, but deal much more damage and cause even more random effects. At the beginning of the phase every raid member is inflicted with a permanent Crushing Despair effect.
Random effects:
Unsaveable 2 second stun on all raid members
-10 stats to all raid members for 20 seconds
Summons a high HP dancing flesh render that must be destroyed within 10 seconds. If it is not, the dancing effect wears off and the render is fully healed. While the render remains alive in this state, The Captain will gain a 100% damage increase buff. This buff stacks if there are multiple renders.
Summons a choir of Mindflayers that will cast greater shout until they are destroyed.
When The Captain reaches 1% HP he will finish off with a grand finale, dealing 250 damage to all raid members. If any raid members are killed, he will be healed by 5% per raid member killed. He only performs Grand Finale once.
THE END.
I have clearly put too much thought into this.
