Plot Hooks

Locale

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Alendra Sams, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Morgan Mournhell is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Chloe Pierre-Dupois that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Eden Elonil believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Gareth Hamlin apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Jaden Walker isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Bernie Brightstar drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Kirsten Carter does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Kerry Rucker the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Sawyer Moran feels the path was blocked on purpose. Sawyer Potter is comfortable going underground.

The Deadly Gaze

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

Angar Hale has taken to wearing a blindfold.

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.
