Plot Hooks

Locale

The New Chef

A new chef has been hired at the tavern. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up for his first day.

Marilyn Molyneaux saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Max Firestorm was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Charlie Aquilegia won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Gawen Windrunner thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Jimbo Kaye is rooting for the woman.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Marge Moran's sister is one of those still awake.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

Celeste Gellar hasn't been seen for days.

The Missing Singer
