Plot Hooks

Locale

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Munir Whisperwind, seems to make many significant glances at Virginia Ward.

Poisoned

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

Tarc Wilbur hated the magistrate.

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Dora Abasi bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Rashur Sybil is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Sumesh Oak is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Athol Silverleaf, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Frances Wood is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Bernie Knight refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Shay Gellar offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

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.

Doran Payne saw Jim Wrynn speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Finley Shalamayne would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.
