Plot Hooks

Locale

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Sarab Schmidt thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Max Wright mistrusts the new guards.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Kael Knight has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Bundringo Cunningham has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Sisco Davis was a child, their father went missing.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Blake Poots feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

A Circus of Pain

A travelling zoo has set up in a nearby town. You have been asked to investigate rumours that the prize attraction is an intelligent being, enslaved.

Bundringo Ashfield wants to go see the new creature. Dax Hynes considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Vidar Elonil suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Winona Molyneaux says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Peter Einar hated the magistrate.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Stewert Quaresh thinks the kraken can teleport.
