Plot Hooks

Locale

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Erica Roderick, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Sebastian Thorn is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Olivier Terryn, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Liberty Roderick says the sea is acting strange this morning. Yasmeen Pierce remarks that tide is all wrong.

The Big Wave

A tsunami is quickly approaching the coast. It will hit landfall within the hour!

Felicity Hemlock thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Nigel Enola saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Mercy Knight fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Rose Pierce is thinking about touching the rock.

Land Pirates

A group of pirates have created massive ships on wheels and prown the plains looking for victims and loot.

Avery Hemlock is constructing their own land boat.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Dottie Shadowcloak refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Bernie Blacksmith offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

Maniac Maze

More than one adventuring group has been lost in a nearby dungeon.

Reynald Echols managed to return from the dungeon, and swears that the walls shift and move.
