Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Fribbington Colman first saw the man while heading back to town.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Eliot White swapped bodies with Mia Wilton and they both kind of like it.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Laban Banes is creeped out by the puppets.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Alys Rowe suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Shay Roundtree says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Zoo Troubles!

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Hardwin Blueflower saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Gawen Roberts says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Jordan Shalamayne is the grandchild of the late wizard.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Ellie Barlow thinks the fortress sank, Lachlan Roderick thinks it was built underground.

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.

Raed Whitethorn has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Denzel Jayid thinks that Jedrek Oathstone is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.
