Plot Hooks

Locale

Invaders within!

Goblins are in the middle of the city! A series of caves have opened up in the sewers and streets and the city is under attack from within!

Nadeera Lesley doesn't believe goblins could have done this on their own. Peter Gellar requests the adventurers helps his family at a local Inn

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Ben Spring has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by River Loch.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Heidi Darwin thinks that Sumesh Ashfield might be the real horse thief.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Avery Hale says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

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. Blake Quaresh, Omar Ironstone, and Enzo Lesley.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Eden AnaanShan has a fear of giants.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Teresa Nozzlenuck often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Julie Roundtree has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

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?

Morgan Wilbur was bitten by a mimic.

Ice Storm

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

Bob Faelyn is worried that they won't make it through the storm.
