Plot Hooks

Locale

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Dan Ward seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Bernie Pegg fears they will run out of wood. Elias Stoutheart cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

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.

Doran Anwen heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Jordan Ghani went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Raven Hynes, Frances Pierre-Dupois, and Sasha Thom.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Kandon Kovak thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Aptal Ellis's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

Assassination

The prince has uncovered a plot to assassinate his father, and needs help getting to the bottom of it.

Parsons Roderick has learned that a lot of the King's own men are in on the plot, and that's why the prince is quietly looking for help.

Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Cynthia Potter believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Sam Barlow has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.
