Plot Hooks

Locale

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Avery Dustpelt fears they will run out of wood. Ego Jayid cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Jaden Mattell went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Nev Bradley tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Ivana Heartpound cannot find his mother.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Clark Hogan has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Robert Willow refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Quintus Shad offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Trixie Connington admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Vidar Scott may be willing to loan them what they need.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Dinan Mehmed are going to hunt down druids.

The Wendigo

People are going missing, and a wendigo just might be to blame.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Gannon Smyth refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Ralph Rucker is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.
