Plot Hooks

Locale

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Safia Hasan is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Andrew Wright, Christopher Ashfield, and Aura Silverleaf.

It's a Hog's Life

After a night of drinking and feasting in the town, you awaken to find the town empty of villagers and instead it is filled with hogs

Claudia Lord says the town worships a respectable goddess of the land, harvest and charity. Yoko Karim only allows those who are strictly invited to the feats to participate.

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.

Hassan Hardaxe swapped bodies with Lariat Mervor and they both kind of like it.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Garrus Hickory was forced to kill their brother last night.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Raadi Silvergem met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Kaith Enola believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Gwendolyn Zaki saw Finley Barlow speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

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.

Steven Greenflower suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Mugheer Embers says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

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.

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