Plot Hooks

Locale

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Mace Ali fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Akdir Wolfbrother is a child who dreams of adventure.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Isis Fitzgerald is thinking of ending it all.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Emyr Crump believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Cora Sybil believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Helena Northrend feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Sylvie Weston drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

The Coming Dark

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

Jen Darwin doesn't trust the elves.

Assassination

The prince has uncovered a plot to assassinate his father, and needs help getting to the bottom of it.

Hardwin Orvar has learned that a lot of the King's own men are in on the plot, and that's why the prince is quietly looking for help.

What Dawn Brings

Every morning in this town you are awoken by the crow of the rooster. This morning, you are jolted awake by a horrible shriek and a sickening silence just after.

Nalgar Travis, the innkeeper, can't find her daughter. Randle Mervor Is missing as well.

Brewfest

The brew fest has arrived! But the caravan carrying the brew has not, and it has now been a week overdue.

Julia Ghani ordered the brews from the nearby city weeks ago. Bernie Simpson is prepared to cancel the breakfast if the brews are not found.
