Plot Hooks

Locale

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Shannon Windrunner and their partner Max Hamilton were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Lacey Crewe is creeped out by the puppets.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

River Jordan has been missing in this region for days.

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Teyr Quicktongue thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Illian Laroque saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Eldar Norman thinks the man is innocent.

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.

Arabella Terryn often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Denzel Bryce has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Bob Monroe invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Bernie Harber offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

Innocent

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

Hugo Roberts thinks that Kallum Beech might be the real horse thief.
