Plot Hooks

Locale

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Maz Haggard used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Rashur Ironbar is losing their mind, the end has come. Moe Bowes this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Simon Sorra thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Jerome Frogsong is thinking about touching the rock.

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.

Graak Kensley often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Emyr Rowe has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Sumesh Zaki is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Ivana Ali, seems to make many significant glances at Miriam Summer.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Valeria Dempsy tells you not to go down that road. Joel Duval smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Kasim Blacksmith swears they always knew something was up.
