Plot Hooks

Locale

The Missing Librarian

A scholar has been called away to explore a newly discovered ancient mine. He has not returned.

Maria Huon is friends with the scholar, but Katrina Duffield thinks they might have something to do with the scholar's disappearance.

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.

Mercy Mehmed thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Fareed Smyth refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Avery Baznak is worried they'll lose their home.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Tavi Roundtree feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Bernie Mervor wants to help the dwarves.

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Tanar James is upset they didn't turn into a god.

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Timothy Orsan is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Maz Winterheart thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Kirsten Blacksmith.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Dianne Norman saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Jonas Loch saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.
