Plot Hooks

Locale

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Olivier Hume met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Finley Belet believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Missing Kid

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

Ricon Thom thinks the boy has been cursed.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Dax Lonerock thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Rowan Ashfield fears they will run out of wood. Finley Marid cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Tournament

A fighting tournament to the death is being held for the king's pleasure. The winner will receive anything he asks for from the King.

Simon Brocksby is eager to sign up.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Simon Freeman, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Libby Grail that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Taylor Weston first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Tiatha Sebastian.
