Plot Hooks

Locale

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Ellie Mehmed often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Lara Greene has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

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.

Kylie Anwen thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Erolith Laroque quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

The New Chef

A new chef has been hired at the tavern. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up for his first day.

Morwen Wynne saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

Land Shark

Sharks. With legs. Need we say more?

Delia Quinn thinks a mad mage has created these abominations.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Rowan Amal fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Kerry Lesley is a child who dreams of adventure.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Sarab Weston, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Parker Quinn believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Marion Elonil don't trust magic, never will.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Kerry Autumn swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Trixie Autumn wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.
