Plot Hooks

Locale

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Finley Quietfoot does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Derrick Roderick warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Elvira Cruise wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Donovan Lesley believes this easy money. Sahin Gleeson has a bad feeling about this.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Marcus Ironbane mistrusts the new guards.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Charlie Urean are going to hunt down druids.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Jericho Mehmed is determined to find out what happened. Parker Fordragon thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Doran Molyneaux warns of danger on the seas. Finley Stormrage believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

Queen Crazy Pants

The Queen has gone insane, and bathes in the blood of attractive people in an effort to keep herself youthful.

Titus Roundtree is a little peeved the Queen hasn't attempted to take them yet.

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Rowan Weston warns you that Hailee Larchwood, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.
