Plot Hooks

Locale

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Theodora Scott does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Tamara Norton swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Jacques Hawkwing wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Natar Duffield met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Julie Thorn believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Parker Deverin is wondering if the horse is a warning.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Parker Norman is wondering if it's their fault somehow.

The Invisible Wall

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

Lillian Faelyn is going to go crazy if they can't leave soon.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Joanna Wilbur thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Nadeera Deverin believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Heidi Marid fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Mary Walker says Raven is standoffish and rude.
