Plot Hooks

Locale

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Ivor Alma has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Clementine Laroque thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Eden Shad says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Cloee Barlow hates the man, and swore to Daisy Altharia that nothing would save him.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Valeria Bryce believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Dina Wilton can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Floor is Lava

A mad wizard has created a much to real game of the floor is lava for his grandson.

Ricky Quicktongue burned their foot the other day.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Mugheer Bryce fears they will run out of wood. Kirsten Balbrek cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Ragnar Potter thinks the fortress sank, Corinna Coal thinks it was built underground.

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.

Matteus Echols used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Garrus Bowes says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Sarab Barlow seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.
