Plot Hooks

Locale

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Nina Weatherby feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Jonas Broadbent wants to help the dwarves.

The Murder

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

Alexandra Arrias says that crows are a bad omen. Athol Kastrix hates birds.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Blake Clarke saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Joey Lucas watched the invaders burn a village. Stuart Annveg wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Denzel Pierce has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Anto Cunningham.

What Now?

Another group of adventurers has killed the Big Bad.

Jonas Huon thought your group would be the one to do it.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Max Sweeny is rooting for the woman.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Kasandra Duval swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

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.

Marek Wilbur swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Winona Whisperwind wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.
