Plot Hooks

Locale

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Finley Weston is willing to let the party borrow horses.

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.

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

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Gavin Norton, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

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 Duck Korsk.

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.

Liam Bradley, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Charlie Vinder recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Blake Summer thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Esmeralda Dalton believes there is always a bigger fish. Aviad Zantus is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Dmitri Hellscream does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Sawyer Lachlan the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Jen Huon seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.
