Plot Hooks

Locale

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Sahin Shadowmourne says the sea is acting strange this morning. Natalia Bane remarks that tide is all wrong.

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.

Rowan Reddy thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Kallum James has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Katrina Fae refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Dina Alma offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Kelsey Lesley likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Sasha Miller offers you a magic item for your service to him. Marilyn Portman warns that greed consumes all.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Taylor Summer thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

The Lost Treasure

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

Shark Scott is intent on finding the treasure first.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Jon Belet used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.
