Plot Hooks

Locale

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Bruce Ashbringer has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Sawyer Echols feels the path was blocked on purpose. Lucia El-Hasan is comfortable going underground.

Eruption

A dormant volcano is suddenly not as dormant as those who live nearby would like.

Edmond Marshall thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Peter Travis thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.

Roger Wynne went out to join the gang.

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Alexis Hasan was the one who discovered the tribe.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Sarab Kelshall thinks that Tanis Adir might be the real horse thief.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Parker Lucas says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

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.

Ria Clarke saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.
