Plot Hooks

Locale

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Sawyer Ward is losing their mind, the end has come. Bernie Marshall this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Altes Carter thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Hugo Roberts thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

Land Pirates

A group of pirates have created massive ships on wheels and prown the plains looking for victims and loot.

Joseph Belet is constructing their own land boat.

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Riley Rucker was the one who discovered the tribe.

The Missing Mentor

You are to meet an old mentor from your past at an old ruin in the wilds. You arrive early and wait for them. You know them to be punctual, always. They never arrive.

Rowan Enola has never reached out to you like this, you fear their concerns are grave.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Helena Echols, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

The Dragon Sword

A sword said to be able to easily kill dragons has been lost in a dungeon and must be recovered.

It's said that Ahsoka Ali knows exactly where the dungeon is.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Brian Spring saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Badaar Gale saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.
