Plot Hooks

Locale

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Haryk Clarke wants to banish the child, while Gwendolyn Haggard thinks maybe something worse is in order.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Brittany Todd invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Miriam Darwin offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Nadeera Walker fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Kathryn Fallenoak is a child who dreams of adventure.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Avery Malfoy believe the treasure is real, while Mica Silverleaf does not.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Vetack Broadbent swapped bodies with Vitriak Ali and they both kind of like it.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Amira Mowbry, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Peter Mehmed is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Invisible Wall

No one may exit town, there's a n invisible barrier holding everyone back.

Isabella Mossrock is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Jill Blight wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.
