Plot Hooks

Locale

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Walter Vonner is worried they'll lose their home.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Brienna Terryn thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

Big Cows

Something has happened to a herd of cows and they've grown to giant level over night. The problem is, they're destroying the farms in the area.

Raadi Abasi barely escaped a giant cow stampede with their life.

A Creeping Corruption

A ranger has found a spreading disease deep in the forest which is killing all the vegetation and turning the animals mad. The spread will soon reach the outskirts of a local city and the farms that feed it.

Olivier Marshall believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Winona Payne last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

The Translators

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

Gregory Sebastian almost decided to go with the foreigner.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Clark Bluepetal has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Desmond Hamlin has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Brom Norton seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Barty Crump wants to banish the child, while Riley Korsk thinks maybe something worse is in order.
