Plot Hooks

Locale

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Monty Urean won't make eye contact with you. Jaden Amal calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

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.".

Laurie Ghani does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Bashara Ferncloud, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Claire Lesley is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Sahin Lucas thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

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. Sawyer Spring, Daniel Alma, and Justin Hamilton.

The Duel

Two men are going to duel to the death for the hand of a woman. Neither know the woman has secretly married the person she really loves.

Bundringo Portman is the one who married the woman.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Lillian Zaki cannot see the creature you describe. Brittany Weston has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Evonne El-Hasan thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Roman Dresdain is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.
