Plot Hooks

Locale

The Dead Beggars

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

Myron Ashbringer thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Parker Masak thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Moe Deakin tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Sumesh Goldpetal cannot find his mother.

Execution

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

Alam Gale thinks the man is innocent.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Bruce Nighy needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Lara Wood saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Charlie Huon, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Charlie Anwen offers you a magic item for your service to him. Manuel Northrend warns that greed consumes all.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Kandon Gaelen met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Olivier Gleeson believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Talwyn Fae fears they will run out of wood. Sumesh James cannot get out onto the lake to fish.
