Plot Hooks

Locale

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Rowan Zaros is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Friedrich Reece is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Jasmine Brocksby can't wait for the festival markets to open.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Tatiana Payne hasn't cried in years until now.

The Doll

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

Joseph Halgar bought the doll as a gift.

The Waning

The torches, candles and all non-magical fires are burning low and weakly in the city. A dense fog slowly settles over the city. Movement in the fog occasionally shows ghostly humanoid forms moving about.

Hailee Adir last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Parsons Turner says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Kylie Bradley first saw the man while heading back to town.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Oliver Thom is putting together a group of hunters.

The Dead Beggars

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

Dustin Clarke thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Sylvia Pierce is losing their mind, the end has come. Dag Carson this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.
