Plot Hooks

Locale

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Olivier Greene, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Helen Ali saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

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.

Henry Carter has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

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.

Michael Bowes says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Vivian Hickory says the sea is acting strange this morning. Cathleen Greenleaf remarks that tide is all wrong.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Hiram Roundtree would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

The Invisible Elf

After ingesting a strange plant, an elf has turned invisible.

Misha Black thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Bernie Sweeny was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

A Creeping Corruption

A ranger has found a spreading disease deep in the forest which is killing all the vegetation and turning the animals mad. The spread will soon reach the outskirts of a local city and the farms that feed it.

Brom Everett believes there is a druid who may be able to help. John Payne last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Kamal Alma claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Renee Hickory has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.
