Plot Hooks

Locale

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

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Quentin Faelyn and they don't remember a thing.

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Corinna Huon can't blame them, gravy is delicious.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Sylvie Pierce tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Mushin Hamlin cannot find his mother.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Charlie Jones says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Evonne Frost hates the man, and swore to Maria Terryn that nothing would save him.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Riley Magdrom invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Katya Colman offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

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.

Reynald Alma tells you not to go down that road. Rowan Lesley smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Clio Crewe has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Dwyer Fordragon thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Matteus Hogan says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.
