Plot Hooks

Locale

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Heidi Faelyn's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Lysander Karim says the sea is acting strange this morning. Tiatha Kastrix remarks that tide is all wrong.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Kylie Hale hasn't cried in years until now.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Neil Portman is creeped out by the puppets.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Danforth Hamid says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Doran Michaels swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Cole Elonil, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Bernie Adir is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Fight Club

A secret underground fight club has sprung up.

Angie Spall is mad because someone talked about it.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Liara Skullcrusher believes dragons are just a myth. Felicity Winter is afraid of thunder.
