Plot Hooks

Locale

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Avery Marshall bought the doll as a gift.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

River Birchfall claims they saw someone float away.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Rowan Morningstar that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

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.

Alondra Whisperwind wants to go see the new creature. Bundringo Echols considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Erolith Timber thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Chosen

A young boy is being sought out. It is believed he is the only one who can destroy a great evil.

Finley Bigtooth worked with a group to hide the boy so none could find him.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Kathryn Wilbur thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Abbas Crump thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Tom Reece came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.
