Plot Hooks

Locale

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Heidi Gemtree used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Cyntia Black claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Dolan Thom thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

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.

Bruce Loch was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Felicity Hadwell is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Liliana AnaanShan expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Hugo Windfall has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Alendra Crewe is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Donal Moran assures you this is an easy job.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Cain Gellar thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.
