Plot Hooks

Locale

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Olivier Portman, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Kathryn Proudhands saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Sahin Abbey is wondering if it's their fault somehow.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Arnold Briggs says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Jessica Altharia heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Monty Jones thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

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.

Clementine Ferrier thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Ice Storm

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

Mushin Malfoy is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

The Singer

A woman has come to town who can put people in a trance by singing to them.

Finley Alard is under the singer's thrall.
