Plot Hooks

Locale

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 Kylie Amal knows exactly where the dungeon is.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

John Abasi would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Emil Bowes was forced to kill their brother last night.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Patrick Sybil thinks that Brittany Selwyn might be the real horse thief.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Jerome Hillard doesn't trust the elves.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Luthor Thom says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Dorian Everett has been missing in this region for days.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Safia Wolfbrother thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Lia Watson has a fear of giants.
