Plot Hooks

Locale

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Dwyer Sams thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Eden Reddy is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Sarab Ashfield needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Jessica Rana saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Finley Shalamayne swears they always knew something was up.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Sahin Potter thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

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.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Lia Schmidt believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Olivier Nozzlenuck believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Doran Reddy feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Wendall Northrend fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Ven Deadeye is a child who dreams of adventure.
