Plot Hooks

Locale

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Dieter Carson heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

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...

Avery Watson warns of danger on the seas. Mary Walker believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

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.

Talwyn Whitestorm feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Kael Banes wants to help the dwarves.

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.

Kallum Mattell has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Zyra Shadowmourne has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Teresa Fordragon has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Petra Nighy claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

The Missing King

The King has vanished. No one knows where he is.

Avery Winter was working with an underground group of rebels who wanted to depose the King.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Sahin Turner thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

Marcellus Loch wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Tatiana Ellis has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Balian Brightleaf thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Samir Hamlin says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.
