Plot Hooks

Locale

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Orren Duffield came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Taylor Joybrook needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Avital Enola saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Cassie Desolation thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Preston Deverin is thinking about touching the rock.

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Gwen Marshall thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Dmitri Summer says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

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.

Dolan James has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Walter Alhara thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Stewert Pierre-Dupois says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Josua Hogan, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Mary Jordan recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Premonitions

A woman has begun seeing the future. These premonitions come with no warning, and cause her pain and stress when they do. Her latest premonition deals with the end of the world as we know it.

Sawyer Faelyn has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.
