Plot Hooks

Locale

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Mikael Weston won't make eye contact with you. Riley Bozier calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Muriel Greene has never seen a creature like this. Taylor Arrias used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Parker Molyneaux is thinking of ending it all.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Ellie Zaki has gone to each day of the trial.

Zoo Troubles!

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Dianne Winterheart saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Sisco James believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Jimbo Barlow don't trust magic, never will.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Fiana Oak is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Taylor Faelyn may have information on a possible thief.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Riley Sams quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

Heat Wave

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