Plot Hooks

Locale

Puppets

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

Ashley Wolfbrother is creeped out by the puppets.

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.

River Crump has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

Wolves and Sheep

Upon arriving in town you notice the people are downtrodden. As well, the tavern interior is trashed. A group of brigands lives nearby.

Jayson Vinder is concerned the brigands controlling the trade route out of town is going to kill everyone in the town. Cassie Adir knows where the brigands attack caravans

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Deilos Cruise blew away yesterday.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Carly Ferrier heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Garrus Bloodhoof went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

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.

Karakta Scott has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Nathalie Pierce thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Joel Lucas says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

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.

Bart Dresdain, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Alexandra Broadbent saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Sisco Lachlan admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Angie Bowes may be willing to loan them what they need.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Vivien Monroe is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.
