Plot Hooks

Locale

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Jen Hogan believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Sadie Bigtooth can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Natalie Abbey it told by the gods when the world will end. Oisin Carter believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

The Sheriff

The town sheriff offers to lead you through the mountain pass if you help him kill a beast which attacks his town's supply lines.

Jim Terryn wants to help. but his town must be his priority. Mandy Roberts doesn't think the sheriff is doing a good job and wants you to sabotage his next mission to prove his incompetence.

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.

Jessica Belet met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Laban Lesley believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Dina Ali has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Talwyn Selwyn has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

A Circus of Pain

A travelling zoo has set up in a nearby town. You have been asked to investigate rumours that the prize attraction is an intelligent being, enslaved.

Blake Deverin wants to go see the new creature. Eve Marshall considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Claudia Stonesworn won't make eye contact with you. Natalia Stone calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

Land Pirates

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

Valnis Wynne is constructing their own land boat.
