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.

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

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Cain Hadwell wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Lacy Monroe thinks they look better bald.

The New Chef

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

Cassie Fordragon saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Erica Vonner thinks the boy has been cursed.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Gowen Connington and they don't remember a thing.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

River Arrias tells you not to go down that road. Doran Ali smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

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.

Alendra Haggard, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Jarrad White recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Eruption

A dormant volcano is suddenly not as dormant as those who live nearby would like.

Lilith Freeman thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.
