Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Anya Winterheart saw Parker Carter speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Arachnophobia

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

Tarc Zantus says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

The Constable

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

Laurel Pierre-Dupois thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Riley Darwin tells you not to go down that road. Finley Fordragon smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Lorelei Greene won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Finley Hynes likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

The Garrison

A group of soldiers fighting a war have come to town, looking for a place to stay and rest. The problem is, the war they're fighting ended over 100 years ago.

Sawyer Ironvain isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Parker Darkwood claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Miriam Shad is wondering if it's their fault somehow.
