Plot Hooks

Locale

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Larson Adir knew they should have moved.

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.

Sisco Portman has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Taylor Simpson says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Aria Mervor suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Iris Ali says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

What Dawn Brings

Every morning in this town you are awoken by the crow of the rooster. This morning, you are jolted awake by a horrible shriek and a sickening silence just after.

Ragnar Loch, the innkeeper, can't find her daughter. Tavi James Is missing as well.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Isabella Oak needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Virginia Carson saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Ivana Grail feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Selena Ellis refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Eve Everett offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Raed Cunningham cannot see the creature you describe. Jonas Terryn has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.
