Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Matthew Unbroken believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Isabelle Reddy apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Ice Storm

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

Maz Zaros is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Avery Grail thinks the fortress sank, Paul Frost thinks it was built underground.

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.

Derrick Mournhell thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Ria Fallow refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Tenjon Strongjaw is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Olivier Dalton likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Sahin Gemleaf thinks the man is innocent.

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.

Hanks Kensley seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Joey Hamlin needs help stopping them.
