Plot Hooks

Locale

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Melissa Black got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Mugheer Roderick warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Angie Ferrier once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

A Royal Summons

A messenger arrives. The land is under attack, and the Queen has called upon your to help defend her lands.

The messenger is impatient. Omar Broadbent is worried you're in over your head.

Land Shark

Sharks. With legs. Need we say more?

Lachlan Barrow thinks a mad mage has created these abominations.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Adrian Hale does not recognize you. Morwen Quinn does not trust outsiders.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Hawke Broadbent is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Marilyn Windflight may have information on a possible thief.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Nico Beech is wondering if the horse is a warning.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Kelsey Echols thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.
