Plot Hooks

Locale

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Olivier Pyre hasn't stopped crying in a week.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Eden Bloodhoof heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Ricon Anguish went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

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.

Sarab Roberts is rooting for the woman.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Petra Crewe seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Taylor Hamilton's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Sahin Dunstan believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Sawyer Scott believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Bebe Sweeny has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Emily Lord has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Olivia Scott is upset they didn't turn into a god.

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.

Marcelin Faelyn thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.
