Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

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

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Owen Hume seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Chloe Ward thinks it's the work of the gods.

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.

Lorelei Jordan thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Cordelia Wright, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Riley Wolfbrother recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Jasper Jordan is losing their mind, the end has come. Bruce Brocksby this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Doran Hickory has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

The New Chef

A new chef has been hired at the tavern. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up for his first day.

Jaden Davis saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Finley Marshall needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Sadie Wilton saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Ceri Knight, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.
