Plot Hooks

Locale

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Avital Marid believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Jakob Ironstrike fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Yusef Bozier knew they should have moved.

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.

Andrew Amal feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

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.

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

Playing God

A man who recently lost his wife is said to be attempting to bring her back by putting her soul within a flesh golem.

Henry Fae saw the widower digging up his wife's grave.

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.

Turok Elonil was the one who discovered the tribe.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Jonas Roderick met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Munir Reece believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Yasmin Travis thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Blake Quicktongue is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Fribbington Huon can't blame them, gravy is delicious.
