Plot Hooks

Locale

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Eden Hamilton seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Sion Rowan tells you not to go down that road. Reiko Duval smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Jody Smyth swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Bernie Mervor thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

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.

Trixie Abasi has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Angie Watson swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Joseph Selwyn saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Riley Dunstan bought the doll as a gift.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Mona Rowe, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Tiatha Miller is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.
