Plot Hooks

Locale

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Malcolm Orsan thinks the boy has been cursed.

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.

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

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Stuart Payne has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Laura Enola is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

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...

Sisco Zaros warns of danger on the seas. Mace Lesley believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Durante Thom thinks that Bernie Fordragon is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Rashur Greene was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Eden Marshall warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Andrew Bowes once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

Everyone's a Winner

The pub is offering up a series of tournaments: cards, drinking, darts and music. Prizes include magic items and treasure.

Stephanie Marshall challenges you to a drinking game. Katinka Grail is collecting bets on the games.
