Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Riley Oaktree believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Jacques Deakin fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Avery Bryce says that crows are a bad omen. Clark Coal hates birds.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Tamsin Jones thinks the boy has been cursed.

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.

Sisco Hogan believes dragons are just a myth. Kyle Simpson is afraid of thunder.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Adrian Winterheart used to date the jester.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Sawyer Enola believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Storm Windrunner apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Janette Thom is intent on finding the treasure first.

Sacrificial

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

Bundringo Ashbringer is willing to do anything to help stop the gnolls.

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Fribbington Ualas fell and broke their leg.
