Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

River Roderick fears they will run out of wood. Taylor Mervor cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Luna Payne is wondering if the horse is a warning.

Land Shark

Sharks. With legs. Need we say more?

Karen Goldpetal thinks a mad mage has created these abominations.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Max Mournhell is losing their mind, the end has come. Lydia Wynne this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

The Druid

A druid named Malfurian is looking for help. A dark Druid called The Elder Servant is attempting to bring murderous beast gods into our world.

Baasim Barlow thinks malfurian is crazy, while Derrick Norman is worried he might be onto something.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Virginia Brocksby was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Mack Birchfall is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Manuel Ironbane is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Maverick Alard and their partner Reuben Michaels were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.
