Plot Hooks

Locale

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Christopher Jones assures you this is an easy job.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Walter Weston, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Sion Nighy recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Mushin Smyth is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

The Constable

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

Gia Bloodhoof thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Gawen Zaros has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Michael Hasan thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Maz Ashbringer says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Hanks Duffield swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Bella Wright wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Premonitions

A woman has begun seeing the future. These premonitions come with no warning, and cause her pain and stress when they do. Her latest premonition deals with the end of the world as we know it.

Calla Wilton has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

Holy War

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

Liberty Ironhelm is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

Brewfest

The brew fest has arrived! But the caravan carrying the brew has not, and it has now been a week overdue.

Rebecca Jones ordered the brews from the nearby city weeks ago. Finley Bryce is prepared to cancel the breakfast if the brews are not found.
