Plot Hooks

Locale

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Raven Hume is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Ria Mowbry hated the magistrate.

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.

Maddie Shadowmourne thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Sarab Fitzgerald says Raven is standoffish and rude.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Christopher Willow was bitten by a mimic.

Assassination

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

Lee Alma 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 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.

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

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Elmo Potter needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Nathalie AnaanShan saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Heat Wave

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

Kirsten Poots thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.
