Plot Hooks

Locale

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Elise Weatherby wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

The Shopping List

A travelling wizard needs helps gathering supplies for his potions.

Candice Reece seems to think the wizard is a fake, and may be leading the party toward doom.

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.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Bundringo Adir is willing to let the party borrow horses.

Payment Due

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

Olivier Goldbreeze admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Katrina Winter may be willing to loan them what they need.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Clio Pierce believes this easy money. Dieter Wood has a bad feeling about this.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Arthur Hamid was bitten by a mimic.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Luna Hickory swears they always knew something was up.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Daniel Hillard hasn't stopped crying in a week.
