Plot Hooks

Locale

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Jago Loch thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Dead Beggars

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

Roxy Bradley thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Nikolas Breezehollow has taken to wearing a blindfold.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Cynthia Gemtree fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Elias Northrend is a child who dreams of adventure.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Eden Grief was the first to die. Cyntia Roberts is the one who killed them.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Eldar Spring has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Desmond Mulgrew claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

Playing God

A man who recently lost his wife is said to be attempting to bring her back by putting her soul within a flesh golem.

Sumesh Pierce saw the widower digging up his wife's grave.

Night of the Dog

All the dogs in the area have become murderous.

Corinna Connington was the first one attacked by a pack of dogs.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Max Erwin thinks the man is innocent.
