Plot Hooks

Locale

The Shopping List

A travelling wizard needs helps gathering supplies for his potions.

Jill Winter seems to think the wizard is a fake, and may be leading the party toward doom.

The Sinkhole

More than one farm has been swallowed up by a sinkhole in the area. Someone needs to find out what is going on.

It's believed by Lacy Lighthands that giant worms are to blame.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Petra Hasan has been missing in this region for days.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Neil Harber thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

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.

Lachlan Marshall refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Akasha El-Hasan is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Liberty Shortaxe doesn't trust the elves.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Winona Oathstone wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Jimbo Bradley would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Balian Lesley talks in their sleep.
