Hey I love making side quests and feel so honored when people add them to their campaign. Here is my latest quest with character art and sheets.
btw Tarrin can be replaced with any town
Katherine, a Milliner (hat maker in cool medieval speak) Is seeking travelers heading to the town of Tarrin. If you meet her she will ask if your party is willing to deliver a letter to her sister Lizzie. If you accept, she will give you an envelope addressed to Elizabeth and Carinia Daratto. Make it to Tarrin and ask about Elizabeth and your party will find a house/Instrument shop upon a hill near the edge of town. Walk into the shop and you will see a wide array of instruments and a woman behind the counter. She is hard at work installing strings to an unfinished violin. If you get her attention, she'll make conversation. If you give her the letter, she will read it (observant players will notice that after she reads it she appears to be thinking) and say it's for her dau-. She catches herself midway through "daughter" and says it's for Carinia. Elizabeth will say that Carinia ran off into the woods behind the hill 2-3 hours ago after accidentally breaking a jar of rosin and feeling really guilty. If they go into the forest (they could encounter anything, up to you) they'll see a young hill-dwarf sitting in a clearing, singing a melody to levitate and lower a couple of stones. Wisdom check (dc13) will show she's using incredibly powerful natural bard magic. STEALTH CHECK (DC 15) succeed and your party will get a chance to talk to her. Fail, and she'll bolt like a startled hind, forcing your party to make chase. (again, your choice what you'll encounter on the way) But your party will eventually catch up and gain a chance to talk. (both scenarios) She'll cautiously make conversation to the party until you mention Elizabeth. With a charisma roll of dc 13, she'll tell you about how elizabeth freed her from slavery and she's not quite sure how to feel about anything. fail and she'll dodge and you can try again. With another charisma roll dc 15, she'll return with your party. However, lie at any point and she'll automatically see through and say "I trusted you" and start fighting you. (her level can be increased or decreased for your party) She hates killing things, so if your hp reaches zero, you'll just be incapacitated. Same with her, if her hp falls to zero, she'll uneasily surrender... Return to the house with carinia and Elizabeth will express her concern and give carinia the letter. Carinia's eyes will widen and realize that this letter is from Katherine to Elizabeth with advice on building trust. With an observation check (dc 11) your party will notice Elizabeth's ploy to show Carinia she cares. If you fought carinia, your reward will be 50sp. If you didn't, Carinia will tell you she's curious about adventuring and is available for your party (plus 75sp)

Setting: Wartime/Military (but you can modify it I guess)
This font is for Melial's dialogue (Georgia)
And this is Aster's (courier)
Bold text is ideas about what to say as a DM
*This is context*
As you round the corner you see two beings locked in a serious argument. You catch words like "It's my burden to bear" and "But you know I can do it!" And "You shouldn't go. It's too dangerous." and "Gods Melial, It's my job!" The argument is between a strange-looking fey and a human girl in armor. The girl notices you and says to the other "We're not alone anymore" He's startled and they both go in different directions. *If your party chooses to follow Melial and take his quest they can go back and take Aster's quest as well. There is no reason as to why they can't have both and it's more interesting if they do both. If .so, the resolution scene triggers after both quests are completed (I recommend you do Melial's quest first*
If they follow the fey they will come to a medic tent. Inside you see healers working on soldiers who have returned from battle injured. The fey has begun to bandage a soldier's arm with incredible focus. *if your party talks to him at any point* He finishes up, approaches you, and says "Can we talk outside?" Eventually, he will ask you a favor "It appears you are adventurers so I'll be willing to chance you have some combat experience. I gravely need your help. Aster, the person I was... talking to, Is a battle mage. I care for her deeply even though I fear these feelings are not reciprocated. She is going on a difficult mission and her superiors refuse to send any backup even though she is barely an adult. Would you be willing to accompany her on her journey? I would be willing to reimburse you for your effort. *if you ask what the mission is* This mission sends her into mountainous lands where we have received reports that our enemy is training wargs in great quantity. She is to either recruit, release, or kill all of the wargs before they are properly trained. However, the base where the wargs are is heavily guarded. though I do not doubt Aster's skill, she is very unready for this"
IF YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW ASTER
You follow Aster to a library where she rifles through a section with very large books. *Try to interact with her* She keeps rifling and says "Give me a minute, I need to find something"s She locates the correct book and initiates conversation. "So I kind of need a hand for a stealth mission. You've seen Melial, right? He's the Luna moth fey I was arguing with. I'm really worried about him. See, his family has a kind of ritual where they place a "birthright curse" on their children and they have to break them to receive birthright. It's to test their kid's magical abilities or something. Melial isn't good at magic. He does small magics like potions and charms but breaking a curse like that is way out of his skill set. She opens up the book, revealing a secret compartment holding a scroll. This Scroll contains the spell you will need. It's a curse-lifting drawn spell, so you draw it on a surface and if anything touches it, it'll go into effect. I need you to draw it on his bed. I know that sounds weird but it'll hopefully work while he sleeps. *Any spellcaster or anybody with art skills can draw it, if you don't have one, she'll come with you. the caster actually has to draw this on a sheet of paper, the glyph is in the document.* Unfortunately, you'll only have about a 30-minute window after sundown to get in, cast it, and get out. *again you should actually set this timer, it adds tension*
IF YOU ACCEPT MELIAL'S QUEST
He tells the party that they have to go to the barracks to get debriefed.
(barracks) You enter the barracks to see various battlemages and soldiers doing all manner of important tasks. A Dark-haired human In battle mage uniform pulls you aside "You can't be in here" *your party should explain what they're doing here* "Volunteers for tomorrow's mission? Ok." He takes you to the armory and says "Spellcasters, put on battlemage armor, Soldier's armor for the others. If you need me, I'll be in the next room" *If they ask his name, It's Captain Eliam Rhummier. The armor is studded leather for both with steel pauldrons for the mages and helmets for the soldiers* In the next room he gives you each a shortsword and a shield *You get to keep your gear but this is extra* "Alright volunteers, now you can go the 3rd room on your left. The rest of the mission team should be there" In the room you find Aster sitting on her bunk reading a map. *if you haven't met her she'll politely introduce herself and brief you on the mission. If you've met she'll visibly express relief and tell you she's glad you're volunteering instead of someone else* The next morning aster wakes you at an ungodly hour, already in her armor. "Guys there's no sleeping in, transport's ready. Get a move on! This transport is a wagon with several barrels stacked on it, but one of those barrels opens up to reveal that there are no barrels inside. Instead, it opens up into a fairly comfortable space with benches and a table. "Ok, Any ideas on how we're going to handle 30 wargs? My plan is once we're inside the walls, we place down this spell diffuser and cast "tame animal" It'll spread to every warg inside the walls. Maybe then we can command them to break the walls. Gods, this is going nowhere! We need a better plan! *dm's choice from now on*
