Plot Hooks

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.

Lucia Massa has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

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.

Max Lucas is eager to sign up.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

River Sybil was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Laikyn Cruise says Raven is standoffish and rude.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Hector Amal believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Owen Selentia don't trust magic, never will.

Hurricane

A massive hurricane has sprung up from nowhere.

John Jordan heard Zyra Northrend say that a druid is to blame.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Taylor Roberts says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Heidi Carter, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Marek Pierce saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Hart Whisperwind is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.
