Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Clementine Fae believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Sawyer Rowe don't trust magic, never will.

The Lesser Evil

There is an evil rising in the region and it is using a terrible magic item. There is only one person who can help. They were the last ones to try to use the artifact for world domination, and they are locked away in a magical prison.

Simone Wolfbrother has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Olivier Carson refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Jared Cunningham has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Ivana Enola thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Chandra Weston refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

Ewan Jayid claims they saw someone float away.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Lena Weston is creeped out by the puppets.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Anika Crewe is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Taylor Nozzlenuck believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Selene Shad fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

Innocent

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

Jasmine Abbey thinks that Tiatha Wynne might be the real horse thief.
