Plot Hooks

Locale

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Mary Wrynn feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

Monster Maker

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

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

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Doran Duval, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Ricon Inferno saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Bart Zantus has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

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.

Roman Pegg believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Robert Deadeye's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Yazid Brocksby is determined to find out what happened. Caroc Bowes thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Dmitri Loch swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Leo Brocksby seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Chandra Ghani thinks it's the work of the gods.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Rowan Jayid is willing to let the party borrow horses.
