Plot Hooks

Locale

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Devlan Schmidt thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Sisco Dempsy has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

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.

Shay Blackfist, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Andrew Browntree is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Anto Duffield invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Sahin Terryn offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

Arthur Spall claims they saw someone float away.

Night of the Tornadoes

Tornado after tornado pummels the city at night.

Athol Marshall believes the tornados are the work of a wizard.

The Lesser Evil

There is an evil rising in the region and it is using a terrible magic item. There is only one person who can help. They were the last ones to try to use the artifact for world domination, and they are locked away in a magical prison.

Emily Stormrage has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Avery Hadwell refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Leif Enola is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Caitlin Lucas may have information on a possible thief.

Tax Time

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

Ui Laroque seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.
