Plot Hooks

Locale

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Fiona Faelyn thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Aura Arrias is wondering if it's their fault somehow.

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.

Max Davis swears they always knew something was up.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Jessica Ferrier believes there is always a bigger fish. Nathaniel Malfoy is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Falk Sams has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Nena Mervor has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

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.

Sisco Brightleaf is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Daphne Lledrod, seems to make many significant glances at Heidi Barlow.

Playing God

A man who recently lost his wife is said to be attempting to bring her back by putting her soul within a flesh golem.

Asa Moongarden saw the widower digging up his wife's grave.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Parsons Kaye thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.
