Plot Hooks

Locale

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Malcolm Cunningham says the sea is acting strange this morning. Jacek Duval remarks that tide is all wrong.

Dragon King

An ancient dragon has eaten the rightful King and all of his heirs. He now lives in the throne room and is demanding to be called King.

Winona Laroque doesn't really care who the king is.

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.

Dax Autumn saw Liam Faelyn having an argument with Barnaby last night.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Enzo Mehmed.

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.

Daphne Everett thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Michael Autumn refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Maz Gale quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Kallum Sorra saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Winona Roderick assures you this is an easy job.

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.

Cathleen Kastrix believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. River Everett apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.
