Plot Hooks

Locale

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Falk Mervor was the first to die. Bernie Hale is the one who killed them.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Athol Karim says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Dina Bluepetal is the grandchild of the late wizard.

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.

Claudia Hemlock cannot see the creature you describe. Eden Blackaxe has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Taylor Clarke believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Hawke Hynes apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Lariat Masak.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Gregory Hickory says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Conn Reddy says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Charlie AnaanShan believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Martha Carrion don't trust magic, never will.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Gregory Bloodhoof's brother was taken off.

The Garrison

A group of soldiers fighting a war have come to town, looking for a place to stay and rest. The problem is, the war they're fighting ended over 100 years ago.

Tom Underhill isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.
