Plot Hooks

Locale

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Sahin Cruise saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Scarlett Wazels, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Miriam Abbey is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

The Possessed

A coven of witches has seemingly called forth demons from the underworld to possess innocents in a nearby town.

It's said the witches want to kill Helena Turner.

The Dragon Sword

A sword said to be able to easily kill dragons has been lost in a dungeon and must be recovered.

It's said that Lydia Rana knows exactly where the dungeon is.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

John Duffield saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Elias Monroe feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Nalgar Blight wants to help the dwarves.

The Living Ship

A ship has been spotted off the coast which appears to be void of a crew, and able to transform itself to somewhat resemble a shark, it's massive mouth biting into other ships and dragging them under the waves.

Maz Potter is too afraid to go into the water now.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Lilith Wazels believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Gawen Pierce's dream is to see a unicorn in person.
