Plot Hooks

Locale

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Carly Boone has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Hailee Ellis, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Valnis Terryn is putting together a group of hunters.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Avital Mervor thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Keeley Spike has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Amira Magdrom.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Denzel Hadwell warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Moe Hickory once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Ashley Lord is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

Taylor Duval wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

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.

Sisco Deakin has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Otto Pierre-Dupois has seen that man before, wearing that sword.
