Plot Hooks

Locale

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Zaeim Barrow is letting the man stay at their house.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Gareth Loch, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Katrina Kensley saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Alaysia Terryn offers you a magic item for your service to him. Liam Broadbent warns that greed consumes all.

A Stone's Throw

During his crowning ceremony, the Prince is struck in the head by a stone thrown from the crowd, his wound is great and falls into coma.

Jenny Carson, the King's brother, immediately claims the throne as his nephew is no longer capable of ruling. Tenjon Mattell claims there is civil war on the horizon unless someone can heal the boy's wounds and prove the Uncle's involvement.

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.

Elias Knight heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Liliana Sybil went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

The Race

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

Hawke Greene has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

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.

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

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Bebe Carter refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Honey Lesley offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

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.

Dub Norman thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.
