Plot Hooks

Locale

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Finley Ward thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Gia Rana has never seen a creature like this. Lana Aquilegia used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Vuska Fae thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Jenny Marshall is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Morgan Timber can't wait for the festival markets to open.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Nick Weatherby, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Quentin Hasan recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Jago Travis doesn't trust the elves.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Lacey Pierre-Dupois thinks that Owen Black might be the real horse thief.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Elana Duffield was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Charlie Zantus assures you this is an easy job.
