Plot Hooks

Locale

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Hiram Anwen does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Pirate Court

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

Killian Winterheart has gone to each day of the trial.

Wolves and Sheep

Upon arriving in town you notice the people are downtrodden. As well, the tavern interior is trashed. A group of brigands lives nearby.

Frederick Barlow is concerned the brigands controlling the trade route out of town is going to kill everyone in the town. Roxy Teagrass knows where the brigands attack caravans

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Melissa Briggs swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Fribbington Deverin believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Dustin Simpson fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Mica Ghani seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Karen Banes thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Dragon Sword

A sword said to be able to easily kill dragons has been lost in a dungeon and must be recovered.

It's said that Kali Pierce knows exactly where the dungeon is.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Sigrid Crewe was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Sapphire Leaffall was the first to die. Brianna Mervor is the one who killed them.
