For events such as The Hungering Deep I feel there needs to be a current mission/task journal that keeps players on track with missions. It could also include small hints in riddle form!
For example the player would open a journal after a new event has started. This journal would have a hint to the first part of an adventure, such as: "Talk to the Bilge Rat in the tavern, they have an adventure waiting!".
Once the player has spoken to the Bilge Rat, the journal would update to the next mission/task, such as the examples bellow:
Mission 1: "Find the character named Merrick on the south-east shore..."
Hint: "The Bilge Rat spoke of a man named Merrick, he will lead you to the next clues!"
Mission 2: "Merrick mentioned a red haired and fair tavern keeper named Tina... or was it Tammy? Find her..."
Hint: "Red haired and fair of face, her tavern stands at a shining place!"
It would be a nice reminder for the players to easily look back upon a task given to them by a NPC's. The lack of a mission/task menu is reminiscent of an old adventure game from the 1990's. I found myself writing down hints and riddles with pen and paper.
