Plot Hooks

Locale

The Invisible Wall

No one may exit town, there's a n invisible barrier holding everyone back.

Katrina Todd is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

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.

Bruce Marshall tells you not to go down that road. Blake Abbey smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Ria Selwyn admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Giselle Stonesworn may be willing to loan them what they need.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Sarab Carter is willing to let the party borrow horses.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

John Cruise is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Avery Crump cannot see the creature you describe. Kharda Roberts has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

The Coming Dark

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

Akdir Hickory doesn't trust the elves.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Cain Pierre-Dupois, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Frederick Dalton is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

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.
