Plot Hooks

Locale

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Daventry Quaresh's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Muriel Ashfield thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Cole Marshall refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Tiffany Roundtree seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

The Dead Beggars

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

Tanar Scott thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Alyx Wolfbrother wants to banish the child, while Iris Siggurd thinks maybe something worse is in order.

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.

Cassius Simpson has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Reiko Masak claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Rebecca Summer swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Max Bozier is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Vivi Mournhell tells you not to go down that road. Charlotte Lonerock smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.
