Plot Hooks

Locale

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Derrick Wrynn feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Jon Deverin wants to help the dwarves.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Jonas Brown went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Enzo Hamid, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Natalia Banes saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Charlie Dresdain thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Michael Pierre-Dupois, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Helena Briggs, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Missing Singer

"Brokenstring" Barnaby Button, a gnome musician has been playing the local tavern for a few months now. This morning he is missing, and there's signs of struggle in his room.

Nalgar Sybil saw River Huon having an argument with Barnaby last night.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Gwen Deakin warns of danger on the seas. Elevrir Weston believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Summer Scott met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.
