Plot Hooks

Locale

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Heidi Kaye thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Faed Enola won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

No Entry

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

Max Morningstar does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Ashley Davis the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Ian Vinder that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Avery Enola is putting together a group of hunters.

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.

Paddy Wynne won't look you in the eye. Reuben Ghani swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Theodora Mervor tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Blake Bozier cannot find his mother.

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.

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

The Sheriff

The town sheriff offers to lead you through the mountain pass if you help him kill a beast which attacks his town's supply lines.

Blake Carter wants to help. but his town must be his priority. Daventry Zaros doesn't think the sheriff is doing a good job and wants you to sabotage his next mission to prove his incompetence.
