Plot Hooks

Locale

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.

Sisco Fae barely escaped the dungeon with their life.

Silence

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

Adrian Oak went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Shark Spring used to date the jester.

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Alaysia Spall is rooting for the more handsome god.

The Wendigo

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

Olivia Swiftfoot is leaving town.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Brogan White has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Derrick Travis has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Beatrix Marshall has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

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.

John Rowan saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Cats!

Everyone is turning into cats when the moon rises.

Shay Rowe is the only person who is seemingly immune.
