Plot Hooks

Locale

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Sisco Mowbry and Walter Alma claim to have seen the murder occur.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Hamad Portman believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Skylar Sams can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Living Ship

A ship has been spotted off the coast which appears to be void of a crew, and able to transform itself to somewhat resemble a shark, it's massive mouth biting into other ships and dragging them under the waves.

Trixie Bladefist is too afraid to go into the water now.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Felicity Bloodhoof are going to hunt down druids.

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Cordelia Deverin.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Max Barlow does not recognize you. Taylor Nighy does not trust outsiders.

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.

Reuben Windfall has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Jaden Spring has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Claudia Marshall swears they always knew something was up.
