Plot Hooks

Locale

Execution

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

Ben Shadowmourne thinks the man is innocent.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Preston Marshall, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Jacek Pegg is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Marge Masak wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

Creeping Forest

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

Chandra Reece waits at the edge of the forest. Mary Pyre asks you to speak on behalf of the village

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Stewert Shadowmourne, seems to make many significant glances at Chandra Gaelen.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Penelope Anwen's brother was taken off.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When John Greenflower was a child, their father went missing.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Kyle Ghani was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.
