Plot Hooks

Locale

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Marek Cruise went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

Assassination

The prince has uncovered a plot to assassinate his father, and needs help getting to the bottom of it.

Elliot Hamid has learned that a lot of the King's own men are in on the plot, and that's why the prince is quietly looking for help.

The Invisible Wall

No one may exit town, there's a n invisible barrier holding everyone back.

Julie Duval is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Malak Unbroken has gone to each day of the trial.

The Sheriff

The town sheriff offers to lead you through the mountain pass if you help him kill a beast which attacks his town's supply lines.

Bundringo Lledrod wants to help. but his town must be his priority. Charlie Alard doesn't think the sheriff is doing a good job and wants you to sabotage his next mission to prove his incompetence.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Ewan Cragfur has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

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 Oak tells you not to go down that road. Kasper Silvertree smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

William Jordan thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Hart Mervor has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Petra Kelshall has seen that man before, wearing that sword.
