Plot Hooks

Locale

What Dawn Brings

Every morning in this town you are awoken by the crow of the rooster. This morning, you are jolted awake by a horrible shriek and a sickening silence just after.

Charlie Roderick, the innkeeper, can't find her daughter. Madoc Mervor Is missing as well.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Joanna Brocksby has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Sisco Bradley has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Invisible Elf

After ingesting a strange plant, an elf has turned invisible.

Claudia Tinkereye thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Gareth Mervor thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

John Reece swears they always knew something was up.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Lucy Rook says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Brianna Weston heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Olivier Bluepetal went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Kallum Schmidt often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Belor Deverin has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

The Translators
