Plot Hooks

Locale

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Ezekiel Hogan and they don't remember a thing.

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Mugheer Stormrage and Cassius Connington claim to have seen the murder occur.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Alendra Shalamayne thinks the man is innocent.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Jelen Travis that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Isabella Hale wants to banish the child, while Sohali El-Hasan thinks maybe something worse is in order.

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.

Lance Hawkwing saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Duel

Two men are going to duel to the death for the hand of a woman. Neither know the woman has secretly married the person she really loves.

Laurel Sweeny is the one who married the woman.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Roxy Hickory seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Swarm

A massive swarm of insects is moving from town to town, eating everything, and everyone, they can find.

Max Hynes is horribly afraid of insects.
