Plot Hooks

Locale

Fight Club

A secret underground fight club has sprung up.

Olivier Donovan is mad because someone talked about it.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Jeffrey Reddy saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Charlie Winterheart fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Olivier Brown thinks that Kimberly Stormrage might be the real horse thief.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Giselle Selentia saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

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.

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

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Cynthia Wynne is thinking about touching the rock.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Fribbington Terryn says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Richard Selwyn has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

What Dawn Brings

Every morning in this town you are awoken by the crow of the rooster. This morning, you are jolted awake by a horrible shriek and a sickening silence just after.

Marcellus Thom, the innkeeper, can't find her daughter. Iris Bozier Is missing as well.
