Plot Hooks

Locale

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Nev Pierce warns of danger on the seas. Natalia Pierre-Dupois believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Dieter Freeman cannot see the creature you describe. Lacey Hemlock has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Lana Quaresh is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

A Father

A grieving man is willing to do anything to get his dead child back.

Sazi Abbey is worried the man is going to make a deal with a dark force.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Mia Massa has a fear of giants.

Night Life

Girls are going missing after visiting a popular tavern at night.

Moe Briggs wants the tavern closed down until the girls are found.

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Morwen Carter won't look you in the eye. Parker Enola swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Tarc Altharia thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Jasper Erwin met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Fletch Bryce believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.
