Plot Hooks

Locale

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Petra Shad seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Nev Abbey says that crows are a bad omen. Liberty Marid hates birds.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Shirley Pierce's brother was taken off.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Riley Dunstan says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Dwyer Wolfbrother can guide you to the location where the star fell. Durante Jorgen noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Riley Donovan has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Amaya Todd thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Daisy Alhara refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Petra Abbey thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

The Sheriff

The town sheriff offers to lead you through the mountain pass if you help him kill a beast which attacks his town's supply lines.

Mushin Laroque wants to help. but his town must be his priority. Kael Faelyn doesn't think the sheriff is doing a good job and wants you to sabotage his next mission to prove his incompetence.
