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.

Jonas Black believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Tiatha Hamilton can guide you to your destination for a fee.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Landon Fitzgerald believes dragons are just a myth. Avery Poots is afraid of thunder.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Tom Altharia won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

Premonitions

A woman has begun seeing the future. These premonitions come with no warning, and cause her pain and stress when they do. Her latest premonition deals with the end of the world as we know it.

Fareed Autumn has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Phoebe Black thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.

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.

River Duval cannot identify where the wounds come from. Jessica Michaels suggests you speak to the local seer.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Euphy Reece claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Fiona Amal has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

Lariat Ellis hasn't been seen for days.

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.

Esmeralda Autumn, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Theodora Mossrock doesn't trust the priest.
