Plot Hooks

Locale

A Circus of Pain

A travelling zoo has set up in a nearby town. You have been asked to investigate rumours that the prize attraction is an intelligent being, enslaved.

Samir Poots wants to go see the new creature. Karth Briggs considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.

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.

Ivor Zantus thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Sisco Bozier refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

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.

Jaden Sorra, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Gate

Bandits have created a gate overnight and are insisting people pay a toll.

Laurel Ironfist thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Mugheer Arrias believe the treasure is real, while Dan Gemleaf does not.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Quintus Moran thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Kathryn Everett saw Derrick Bryce speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Jayson Rucker says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

The Ticking

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

Sam Roderick wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.
