Plot Hooks

Locale

The Invisible Wall

No one may exit town, there's a n invisible barrier holding everyone back.

Keeley Jorgen is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Enzo Roundtree does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Tiatha Kaye thinks that Tanar Quicktongue is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Luce Spring thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Elana Oak refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Ashley Garnik seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Nena Thorn swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Nick Timber fears they will run out of wood. Bebe Weston cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Sawyer Fordragon watched the invaders burn a village. Bundringo Zantus wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Shangela Clarke isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.
