Plot Hooks

Locale

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

George Barlow, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Sibylle Harber and Cain Fae claim to have seen the murder occur.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Levi Shalamayne watched the invaders burn a village. Selene Watson wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Natalia James was bitten by a mimic.

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.

Munir Harber thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Tom Ward refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Lacy Hume feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Fribbington Michaels wants to help the dwarves.

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.

Aura Echols does not recognize you. Gwendolyn Grail does not trust outsiders.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Sulfras Hawkwing thinks the fortress sank, Sawyer Karim thinks it was built underground.

Hurricane

A massive hurricane has sprung up from nowhere.

Jerome Malfoy heard River Broadbent say that a druid is to blame.
