An evil wizard has already kidnapped and broken the seal of six of the sages. The only way to kill the wizard is to find an enchanted sword. The only problem the sword is also sealed away and you need to find 3 gems - a sapphire, a ruby, and an emerald - to claim the sword for yourself. Go find those gems and kill the wizard!

    589-b: You got the sword and fought the wizard, but it was already to late. He teleported away and made his wish to rule the world. The world is now an evil, twisted version of its former self. Go rescue the Sages so they can bind his power again and save the world!
    Not sure but sounds like a Legend of Zelda game

You leave, sneak into the castle and find the princes. After seeing the gem you carry the princes tells you that an evil man is trying to collect three magical gems to unlock a secret door that holds great power. Get those gems yourself so he can't have them!

    590-b: Turns out the BBEG was just waiting for you to collect the gems and open the door yourself, just so he can waltz in and take the power. You awaken seven years later to find the world ruled by said evil man and everything in ruins. Now, go use your magical sword to travel back and forth in time to awaken the seven Sages to seal his power and save the world!

    (589 and 590 are different, even though they sound exactly the same.)

    Assassins Creed (from Altair's perspective)?

    593: You are sitting in a tavern when you hear a massive crashing noise outside. You head outside to notice that the building opposite has been completely destroyed. An Earth Elemental is emerging from the ruins! You can also see similar looking rocks about to land in your city. The aforementioned elemental's first attack criticals and kills one of the party members...

    594: The mayor of the city calls you to his residence. He reveals that his amulet has been stolen. This amulet is needed to supress the natural effects of the region you're in (incredibly loud noise that would destroy anything in the region except the main tower in the region). Go fetch it.

    Yea, these are campaigns that I've run...
