Plot Hooks

Locale

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Taylor Asis can guide you to the location where the star fell. Helena Hickory noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Bundringo Bowes is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

Payment Due

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

Rolf Roberts admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Elise Hamlin may be willing to loan them what they need.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Charlie Thom says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Erolith Korsk is the grandchild of the late wizard.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Sahin Belet thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

The Waning

The torches, candles and all non-magical fires are burning low and weakly in the city. A dense fog slowly settles over the city. Movement in the fog occasionally shows ghostly humanoid forms moving about.

Iris Huon last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Bundringo Gemtree says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

The Possessed

A coven of witches has seemingly called forth demons from the underworld to possess innocents in a nearby town.

It's said the witches want to kill Roman Lachlan.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Avery Bigtooth.
