Plot Hooks

Locale

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Honey Roundtree needs help stopping them.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Marlon Stormtiger swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Ragnar Clarke saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

No Entry

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

Maz Loch does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Ven Spring the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Elana Bozier waits at the edge of the forest. Frederick Marid asks you to speak on behalf of the village

Tax Time

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

Kerry Tawnyspots seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Dolan Faelyn is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

The Kraken

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

Max Faelyn thinks the kraken can teleport.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Doran Mervor saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.
