Plot Hooks

Locale

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Marlon Ghani swears they always knew something was up.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

Hassan Silvertree hasn't been seen for days.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Kylie Huon has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Marcus Sybil thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Canton Roderick says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

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."

Mona Hickory says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Jared Filaen is the grandchild of the late wizard.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Phoebe Gellar has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Dinan Mervor swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Parsons Lachlan believe the treasure is real, while Edgar Spike does not.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Ruth Hynes cannot identify where the wounds come from. Lisa Ellis suggests you speak to the local seer.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Renee Wilton claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.
