Plot Hooks

Locale

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Jeffrey Weatherby says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

Fight Club

A secret underground fight club has sprung up.

Logan Lucas is mad because someone talked about it.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Taylor Rook has gone to each day of the trial.

The Missing Singer

"Brokenstring" Barnaby Button, a gnome musician has been playing the local tavern for a few months now. This morning he is missing, and there's signs of struggle in his room.

Helen Grail saw Cathleen Bowes having an argument with Barnaby last night.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Harold Weatherby went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Caitlin Reddy fell and broke their leg.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Dag Sweeny swapped bodies with Penelope Hawkwing and they both kind of like it.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Lance Mowbry thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Rowan Hynes is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

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.
