Plot Hooks

Locale

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Ian Enola has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Lana Vinder has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

More Money!

Gold pieces have rained down from the sky over a small village. The new wealth has created some problems, to say the least.

Lisa Enola went from dirt poor to the richest in town.

Loss

An elf named Cameron recently lost his wife in an attack. He needs help seeking revenge.

Rodney Knight is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

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.

Lee Shalamayne isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Avery Duval almost decided to go with the foreigner.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Blake Boone thinks the boy has been cursed.

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Akasha Smyth is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

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.

Rose Wazels's brother was taken off.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Amira Deakin is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Balian Rucker expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.
