Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Del Crump thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

Clocktower

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

Joanna Clarke was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Sahin Faelyn says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Yasmeen Stonesworn knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Invaders within!

Goblins are in the middle of the city! A series of caves have opened up in the sewers and streets and the city is under attack from within!

Muriel Pierre-Dupois doesn't believe goblins could have done this on their own. Lilith Jones requests the adventurers helps his family at a local Inn

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Doran Fordragon hasn't cried in years until now.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Tanar Malfoy is thankful they can still see.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Katinka Massa cannot identify where the wounds come from. Candice Wood suggests you speak to the local seer.

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Hawke Hamilton won't look you in the eye. Valeria Knight swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry
