Plot Hooks

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Elliot Wright, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Jago Stormrage is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Gwendolyn Wynne likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Creeping Forest

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

Gawen Haggard waits at the edge of the forest. Homer Adir asks you to speak on behalf of the village

The Reluctant Killer

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.

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

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Matthew Rowe used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Mack Wynne warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Jacques Hillard wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Lillian Brocksby swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Ivana Pierre-Dupois wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Sisco Grief thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Sisco Mournhell has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.
