Plot Hooks

Locale

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Erica Scott bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

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.

Nico Hamlin warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Anya Cunningham once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Yusef Norman thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

Buried Alive!

You awaken to the sound of a bell tolling. You are laying down in the dark, surrounded by stone. Understanding is quickly follow by panic as you have been entombed alive.

Paul Huon, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Lacey Graves doesn't trust the priest.

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.

Baasim Reddy, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Missing Letter

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

Sylvia Terryn hates the man, and swore to Leif Turner that nothing would save him.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Taylor Huon thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Fribbington Broadbent says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Fribbington Crewe hasn't stopped crying in a week.
