Plot Hooks

Locale

The Swarm

A massive swarm of insects is moving from town to town, eating everything, and everyone, they can find.

Roxy Pierce is horribly afraid of insects.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Jasmine Bowes, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Kashida Rana is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Fribbington Loch says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Salvatore Adir is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Quintus Haggard does not recognize you. Lisa Payne does not trust outsiders.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Gannon Amal invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Aviad Miller offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Don Ward thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Lia Roderick wants to banish the child, while Cain Blackve thinks maybe something worse is in order.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Henry Briggs hasn't cried in years until now.

The Invisible Elf

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

Olivier Quaresh thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.
