Plot Hooks

Locale

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Kiernan Hynes believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Jonas Zantus apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Parker Pierce's sister is one of those still awake.

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Alicia Mowbry is letting the man stay at their house.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Frances Deadeye that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Valnis Reece feels the path was blocked on purpose. Lacey Fae is comfortable going underground.

Cannibals

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

Mandy Hemlock is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

The Tournament

A fighting tournament to the death is being held for the king's pleasure. The winner will receive anything he asks for from the King.

Baasim Greene is eager to sign up.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Marcellus Lachlan saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Fribbington Wolfbrother saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Host

A lonely old man is eager for company. He may not be who he says he is, however.

Raven Masak warns everyone to stay away from the old man.
