Plot Hooks

Locale

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Nayeli Crewe met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Nora Banes believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Baasim Enola are going to hunt down druids.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Brianna Fordragon has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Balur Daeren.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Femlin Bloodhoof tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Maz Darkwood cannot find his mother.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Maddie Loch's sister is one of those still awake.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Rylan Weatherby is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Kathryn Ward bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Hugh Bryce invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Bundringo Whisperwind offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Cloee Winterheart, Erolith Leopardstar, and Edgar Sweeny.
