Plot Hooks

Locale

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Dana Enola saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Kasper Wazels saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Singer

A woman has come to town who can put people in a trance by singing to them.

Jelen Spall is under the singer's thrall.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Aura Connington is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

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.

Parker Todd believes this easy money. Hector Ironbar has a bad feeling about this.

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.".

Sigrid Hickory does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Frances Shalamayne first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Tom Masak.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Kashida Ualas believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Finley Stormrage fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Jayson Gleeson heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Roan Ellis went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.
