Plot Hooks

Locale

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Sion Fordragon won't make eye contact with you. Avery Greentree calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Jakob Moongarden thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Levi Sybil is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Jeffrey Wilbur drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

Innocent

A man accused of stealing horses insists that he's being framed.

Maggie Korsk thinks that Vuska Lesley might be the real horse thief.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Nina Potter wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

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.

Ashet Black needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Cassie Poots saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

The Meat Eater

A little girl was found by a friendly circus troupe and brought with them to town. Well, that was the plan. She's the only one who actually made it to town, covered in the blood of the troup.

Brianna Loudlegs is sure the little girl ate the circus troupe.

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Valnis Cragfur is intent on finding the treasure first.
