Plot Hooks

Locale

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Claudia Shalamayne talks in their sleep.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Godfrey Mervor believes dragons are just a myth. Matthew Norman is afraid of thunder.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Lacey Faelyn swapped bodies with Finley Lachlan and they both kind of like it.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Doran Bryce, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Geoffrey Hynes saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Parker Baznak it told by the gods when the world will end. Dov Shad believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

Carrots

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

Danforth Marshall says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

Sacrificial

A pack of demon worshipping gnolls have been abducting people to use in sacrifice.

Giselle Spall is willing to do anything to help stop the gnolls.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Zaeim Daeren.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Akdir Smyth doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Elmo Todd does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.
