Plot Hooks

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Sarab Fordragon went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Sophie Greennose will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Derrick Roderick seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Homer Clarke's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

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.

Arthur Bradley suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Charlie Smyth says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Hiaenna Pierre-Dupois warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Meara Wynne once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Tanis Terryn thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Nathalie Faelyn refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Lawson Mulgrew came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Josua Sams almost decided to go with the foreigner.
