Plot Hooks

Locale

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Ewan Winterheart won't look you in the eye. Ben Marshall swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

The Sheriff

The town sheriff offers to lead you through the mountain pass if you help him kill a beast which attacks his town's supply lines.

Nina Karim wants to help. but his town must be his priority. Zoe Lesley doesn't think the sheriff is doing a good job and wants you to sabotage his next mission to prove his incompetence.

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Taylor Ashbringer is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Rowan Thom is determined to find out what happened. Chloe Moonclaw thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Violet Marshall.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Rebecca Bladefist thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

The Kraken

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

Fribbington Schmidt thinks the kraken can teleport.

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Elliot Birchfall waits at the edge of the forest. Asa Nozzlenuck asks you to speak on behalf of the village

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".
