Plot Hooks

Locale

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Derrick Shadowmourne, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Carys Mowbry saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Kali Bowes saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Clark Enola thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Jim Spall was a child, their father went missing.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Dan Shalamayne is rooting for the woman.

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Erica Windrunner got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

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.

Lana Potter claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Blake Jorgen has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

The Tournament

A fighting tournament to the death is being held for the king's pleasure. The winner will receive anything he asks for from the King.

Dwyer Hickory is eager to sign up.

Tiefling Trouble

A tiefling named Rokul is being targeted by a mysterious assassin.

Landon Zaki seems to think the assassin is one of the Black Birds, a group of hired killers. Sahin Reece doesn't think the Black Birds even exist.
