Plot Hooks

Locale

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Avery Shadowmourne has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Aptal Wilbur thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Brian Travis says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Cathleen Hickory first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Amy Laroque thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Peter Greene thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Sawyer El-Hasan refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Nayeli Wildfire talks in their sleep.

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Caroc Zaros waits at the edge of the forest. Kasim Portman asks you to speak on behalf of the village

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Felix Kensley heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Ismael Donovan believes this easy money. Virginia Roderick has a bad feeling about this.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Honey Hickory, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.
