Plot Hooks

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Doran Pegg is wondering if it's their fault somehow.

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.

Kasim Gellar has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Janette Payne thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Sisco Roderick says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

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.

Orren Chainbreaker believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Katya Erwin believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Dax Jordan.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Jared Duffield thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

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.

Rowan Weston swears they always knew something was up.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Wendall Ironbolt says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Desmond Hogan says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Marlon James believe the treasure is real, while Shannon Knight does not.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Julia Enola feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.
