Plot Hooks

Locale

The Host

A lonely old man is eager for company. He may not be who he says he is, however.

Alyx Wynne warns everyone to stay away from the old man.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Cordelia Todd believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Yazid Karim believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Dora Deakin says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Bernie Travis is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Bernie Rowe does not recognize you. Lara Black does not trust outsiders.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Hiram Enola went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Evonne Faelyn is losing their mind, the end has come. Illian Hynes this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Bella Fae thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Shark Huon is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

A Circus of Pain

A travelling zoo has set up in a nearby town. You have been asked to investigate rumours that the prize attraction is an intelligent being, enslaved.

Katrina Duval wants to go see the new creature. Nick Weatherby considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.
