Plot Hooks

Locale

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Jessica Wazels.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Max Selentia is losing their mind, the end has come. Sarab Mowbry this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

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.

Renee Ashfield knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

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.

Bundringo Wildfire thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Morgan Ruin drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

George Malfoy has been missing in this region for days.

Big Cows

Something has happened to a herd of cows and they've grown to giant level over night. The problem is, they're destroying the farms in the area.

Emily Zaros barely escaped a giant cow stampede with their life.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Fareed Stormrage says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Elias Joygrove is the grandchild of the late wizard.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Dawn Broadbent swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.
