Plot Hooks

Locale

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Dag Larchwood believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Bebe Frost can guide you to your destination for a fee.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Bruce Belet mistrusts the new guards.

The Menu

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

Justin Hamid bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Eden Hillard got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

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.

Alyx Orsan met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Stella Pierce believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Alexandra Everett is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Bedelia Monroe seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Akdir Hickory thinks the kraken can teleport.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Charlie Scott has taken to wearing a blindfold.
