Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Seymor Crump has a fear of giants.

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.

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

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Riley Hasan met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Aria Alard went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Taylor Simpson believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Stuart Bradley fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

Playing God

A man who recently lost his wife is said to be attempting to bring her back by putting her soul within a flesh golem.

Logan Ferrier saw the widower digging up his wife's grave.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Peter Rook are going to hunt down druids.

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.

Alys Ironlatch thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Nathalie Norman warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Sahin Rook once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.
