Plot Hooks

Locale

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Kamal Mehmed feels the path was blocked on purpose. Dawn Pierre-Dupois is comfortable going underground.

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.

Sarab Spring thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Taylor Black refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Maggie Hamilton heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Katrina Roderick went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Joey Donovan admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Robert Brown may be willing to loan them what they need.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Michael Hamilton is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Caitlin Karim is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Qualen Roundtree expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Denzel Huon and their partner Marcelin Hogan were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Jaden Windrunner says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Ellie Clarke is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.

Belor Marshall barely escaped the dungeon with their life.
