Plot Hooks

Locale

Eruption

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

Dan Daeren thinks magic may be the cause of the upcoming eruption, and not nature.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Lois Malfoy has never seen a creature like this. Jared Clarke used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Zyra Hawkwing offers you a magic item for your service to him. Charlie Deadeye warns that greed consumes all.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Dmitri Graves is thankful they can still see.

The Living Ship

A ship has been spotted off the coast which appears to be void of a crew, and able to transform itself to somewhat resemble a shark, it's massive mouth biting into other ships and dragging them under the waves.

Dorian Northrend is too afraid to go into the water now.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Sumesh Abbey believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Roger Masak apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Preston Roundtree believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Dag Vonner doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Kael Snaketail does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Katrina Reece can guide you to the location where the star fell. Lana Payne noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.
