Plot Hooks

Locale

A Stone's Throw

During his crowning ceremony, the Prince is struck in the head by a stone thrown from the crowd, his wound is great and falls into coma.

Otto Miller, the King's brother, immediately claims the throne as his nephew is no longer capable of ruling. Sumesh Faelyn claims there is civil war on the horizon unless someone can heal the boy's wounds and prove the Uncle's involvement.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Paul Faelyn swapped bodies with Maria Truthseeker and they both kind of like it.

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.

Denzel Roberts seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Kharda Roderick's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

Clark Jordan claims they saw someone float away.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Jill Weston knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

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.

Parker Darwin often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Sasha Ellis has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Arianna Grail, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Alendra Alard saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Night of the Dog

All the dogs in the area have become murderous.

Henry Northrend was the first one attacked by a pack of dogs.
