Plot Hooks

Locale

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Rebecca Wood knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Oisin Anwen knew they should have moved.

The Invisible Elf

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

Vuska Greentree thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

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.

Taylor Scott has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Jade Reece has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Gwendolyn Ashfield saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Jago Loch thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Roan Northrend blew away yesterday.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Felix Kensley won't make eye contact with you. Sisco Hawkwing calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Nathalie Enola is rooting for the more handsome god.
