Plot Hooks

Locale

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Hiaenna Crewe thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Yasmin Wood won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

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.

River Nozzlenuck heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Jayson Fae went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Maddie Sweeny won't make eye contact with you. Sadie Everett calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Jasper Erwin quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Meara Fitzgerald is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Fribbington Faelyn swapped bodies with Sisco Shortaxe and they both kind of like it.

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Skylar Zaki can't blame them, gravy is delicious.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Godfrey Weatherby tells you not to go down that road. Durante Mehmed smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.
