Plot Hooks

Locale

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Timo Hume has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Baasim Sorra has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

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.

Eden Autumn thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Jade Rook refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Munir Faelyn is rooting for the more handsome god.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Friedrich Anwen is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Natar Payne is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Jericho Hale are going to hunt down druids.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Charlie Bowes knew they should have moved.

Arachnophobia

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

Marlon Connington says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Blake Cruise blew away yesterday.
