Plot Hooks

Locale

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Fribbington Faelyn is letting the man stay at their house.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Oliver Bryce, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Taylor Weston believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Laurel Mervor fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Charlie Rucker does not recognize you. Qualen Boone does not trust outsiders.

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Maggie Crump almost decided to go with the foreigner.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Laurel Weston will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Blake Pierce's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

The Dead Killer

A necromancer is bringing forth an army of undead, but there's a mystical sword called Dead Killer which may help turn the tide, if it can be found.

Caroc Roundtree will outfit a parry interested in finding the sword.

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.

Olivier Scott cannot identify where the wounds come from. Parker Hawkwing suggests you speak to the local seer.
