Plot Hooks

Locale

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Iris Blacksmith has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Elias Graystripe thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Harold Banes swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Bernie Moran wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Henry Wilbur has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Candice Norman claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

William Michaels wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Alexandra Mervor isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Wendall Shalamayne isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

Anger

Everyone in town is JUST SO FREAKING MAD

Jim Brocksby is totally the most mad.

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.

Dustin Rana has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Kasim Brightleaf is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.
