Plot Hooks

Locale

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Alyx Kaye is upset they didn't turn into a god.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Ember Wrynn won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Rylan Dempsy would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Edmond Masak is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Meara Quietfoot expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

The Invisible Wall

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

Leif Rana is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Katinka Carson believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Candice Weatherby's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Mia Portman has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Landon Pierce thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Sawyer Rowe says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!
