Plot Hooks

Locale

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Bundringo Silvergem thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Helen Wood thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Olivier Watson tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Yasmin Faelyn cannot find his mother.

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Ricon Roderick bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Clark Spring.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Jericho Oathstone, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Vivian Ironbrow thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

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.

Jody Ironvain fears they will run out of wood. Tom Bryce cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Magda Hasan saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Fribbington Everett fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.
