Plot Hooks

Locale

The Arrival

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

Gar Pierce has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Nick Masak hates the man, and swore to Bashara Everett that nothing would save him.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Cassius Reece, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Amira Huon invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Kasim Mossrock offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Jasper Shalamayne cannot identify where the wounds come from. Heidi Donovan suggests you speak to the local seer.

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Fribbington Darkwood thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

The Big Wave

A tsunami is quickly approaching the coast. It will hit landfall within the hour!

Kaith Zantus thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Marcelin Lachlan thinks the kraken can teleport.

Tiefling Trouble

A tiefling named Rokul is being targeted by a mysterious assassin.

Nelson Weston seems to think the assassin is one of the Black Birds, a group of hired killers. Tamsin Mervor doesn't think the Black Birds even exist.
