Plot Hooks

Locale

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Matthew Hamlin seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Maz Marshall thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Floor is Lava

A mad wizard has created a much to real game of the floor is lava for his grandson.

Jax Fordragon burned their foot the other day.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Jonas Belet swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Simone Brocksby thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Raadi Marid wants to banish the child, while Olivia Korsk thinks maybe something worse is in order.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Rylan Roderick has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Lydia Wynne has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Don Chainbreaker thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Eve Reddy thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Ice Storm
