Plot Hooks

Locale

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Clark Anwen's sister is one of those still awake.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Alaya Hume feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Arish Wright is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Sawyer Stonesworn drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Sylvie Connington does not recognize you. Blake Ali does not trust outsiders.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Cynthia Sebastian, Alicia Anguish, and Eldon Payne.

Anger

Everyone in town is JUST SO FREAKING MAD

Alia Michaels is totally the most mad.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Cole Hickory thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Tanar Autumn believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Levi Smyth believes working with the orcs is best for all involved
