Plot Hooks

Locale

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Erica Wrynn believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Teresa Lesley believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Killian Ironhand swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Max Marshall is intent on finding the treasure first.

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Helsora AnaanShan thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Maverick Beech will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Bundringo Pyre is determined to find out what happened. Keeley Wright thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Sarab Arrias refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Justin Brightleaf is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Brogan Cruise, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Torek Shadowcloak believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Favian Scott fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.
