Plot Hooks

Locale

More Money!

Gold pieces have rained down from the sky over a small village. The new wealth has created some problems, to say the least.

Scarlett Wilton went from dirt poor to the richest in town.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Aric Loch has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

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.

Jim Orsan met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Ember Kensley believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Tiefling Trouble

A tiefling named Rokul is being targeted by a mysterious assassin.

Ruth Crewe seems to think the assassin is one of the Black Birds, a group of hired killers. Sahin Adir doesn't think the Black Birds even exist.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Sahin Hawkwing admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Ria Summer may be willing to loan them what they need.

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Arish Poots is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Ewan Zaki is wondering if it's their fault somehow.

The Arrival

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

Rowan Enola has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Matteus Molyneaux, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Sisco Longtail recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.
