Plot Hooks

Locale

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Gert Harber has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Fribbington Walker and their partner Gavril Marshall were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Patrick Rana wants to banish the child, while Kasim Ferrier thinks maybe something worse is in order.

Monster Maker

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

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

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Charlie Brocksby warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Valnis Lesley once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Max Mervor does not recognize you. Jim Hawkwing does not trust outsiders.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Katya Bloodhoof hasn't cried in years until now.

Under the Lake

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

Corinna Deakin has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Weston Quinn believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Riley Lachlan apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.
