Plot Hooks

Locale

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Michael Payne believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Julie Smyth believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Olivier Thalnir is rooting for the more handsome god.

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Sarab Boone can't blame them, gravy is delicious.

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.

Tanar Clarke went out to join the gang.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Roan Portman believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Dolan Shadowmourne's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Fletcher Hogan, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Athol Lucas 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.

Jevon Mervor believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Percival Mulgrew fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Lillian Winterheart is determined to find out what happened. Maxwell Rowe thinks creatures from space ate the stars.
