Plot Hooks

Locale

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Anto Windrunner almost decided to go with the foreigner.

A Royal Summons

A messenger arrives. The land is under attack, and the Queen has called upon your to help defend her lands.

The messenger is impatient. Erica Pierre-Dupois is worried you're in over your head.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Seymor Erwin thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Sahin Scourge tells you not to go down that road. Faed Stonesworn smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Tarc Dustpelt thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Gareth Quinn thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Sahin Stormtiger would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Katarina Weston saw Selena Barrow speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Shangela Silvergem thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.
