Plot Hooks

Locale

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Morwen Travis can guide you to the location where the star fell. Lara Marid noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Hector Portman is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Daphne Travis can't wait for the festival markets to open.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Ezekiel Ashbringer came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Roan Black would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Amelia Mehmed got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Logan Wilbur fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Arnold Quinn is a child who dreams of adventure.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Ricky Ironbane is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Reiko Shadepelt led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Sylvie Faelyn thinks they look better bald.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Phoebe Rowe thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.
