Plot Hooks

Locale

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Bedelia Deverin met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Vivi Teagrass believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Katrina Harber saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Misha Oak fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Sarab Reece is rooting for the woman.

A Stone's Throw

During his crowning ceremony, the Prince is struck in the head by a stone thrown from the crowd, his wound is great and falls into coma.

Avital Coal, the King's brother, immediately claims the throne as his nephew is no longer capable of ruling. Symond Weston claims there is civil war on the horizon unless someone can heal the boy's wounds and prove the Uncle's involvement.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Talia Winter knew they should have moved.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Stewert Deadeye has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Marina Crump.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Sibylle Mattell says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Edgar Weston is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Omar Moonvalley believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Honey Pierce claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Ivor Marshall has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.
