Plot Hooks

Locale

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Mandy Duval knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Lucy Desolation thinks the fortress sank, Phoebe Hickory thinks it was built underground.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Teresa Kaye can guide you to the location where the star fell. Henry Whitethorn noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Isis Mattell swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Sumesh Crewe thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Hart Hale tells you not to go down that road. Finley Hickory smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Big Cows

Something has happened to a herd of cows and they've grown to giant level over night. The problem is, they're destroying the farms in the area.

Larson Anwen barely escaped a giant cow stampede with their life.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Avery Northrend, seems to make many significant glances at Jasper Alhara.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.
