Plot Hooks

Locale

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Max Winter thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Mace Gellar came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Selene Everett is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Luna Wood thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

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.

Lilith Brightleaf says the sea is acting strange this morning. Angie Reddy remarks that tide is all wrong.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Olivier Gale thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Kathryn Lachlan thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Neil Banes is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Reeve Gleeson often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Dorian Duffield has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.
