Plot Hooks

Locale

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Arnold Grail first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Gate

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

Cloee Rowe thinks the village militia should just kill the bandits.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Joanna Enola swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Doran Shad has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Max AnaanShan can guide you to the location where the star fell. Riley Wolfbrother noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Hart Dresdain thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

Off Day!

There's nothing to do today! Absolutely nothing!

Gareth Nighy said something, but you don't even need to listen!

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Arnold Loch does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Karakta Vonner says they saw the dragon just yesterday.
