Plot Hooks

Locale

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Hamad Summer is upset they didn't turn into a god.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Badaar Proudfoot saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Tanar Hamid saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Voices

A random group of people around the globe have suddenly begun hearing the same voices whispering to them. The voices tell each of the group to "prepare for war."

{character is jealous that Altes Brown can hear the voices.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Morwen Winterheart seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Hamad Mervor offers you a magic item for your service to him. Sisco Hamlin warns that greed consumes all.

Maniac Maze

More than one adventuring group has been lost in a nearby dungeon.

Harold Kensley managed to return from the dungeon, and swears that the walls shift and move.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Nora Ironhelm tells you not to go down that road. Jago Sweeny smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

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.

Sawyer Blackclaw it told by the gods when the world will end. Bob Ellis believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Yasmin Blueflower thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Sylvie Winterheart refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.
