Plot Hooks

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Jarrad Roderick refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Eden Mowbry is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Lysander Greene bought the doll as a gift.

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Alexandra Fordragon saw Fletcher Summer speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Samir Bladefist has never seen a creature like this. Dael Elonil used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Hugh Payne tells you not to go down that road. Nathalie Hogan smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

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.

Simon Crump is the one who married the woman.

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Nathalie Sybil saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

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.

Avery Reddy's sister is one of those still awake.

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

Altes Rook has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers
