Plot Hooks

Locale

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Karakta Anwen that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.

Jonas Leaffall went out to join the gang.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Nick Brown doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Isabella Mervor does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Lance Darwin hates the man, and swore to Cain Black that nothing would save him.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Joseph Duval, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Moe Carter is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Lena Gellar seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

The Meat Eater

A little girl was found by a friendly circus troupe and brought with them to town. Well, that was the plan. She's the only one who actually made it to town, covered in the blood of the troup.

Alam Donovan is sure the little girl ate the circus troupe.

Wolves and Sheep

Upon arriving in town you notice the people are downtrodden. As well, the tavern interior is trashed. A group of brigands lives nearby.

Taylor Lesley is concerned the brigands controlling the trade route out of town is going to kill everyone in the town. Storm Sebastian knows where the brigands attack caravans
