Plot Hooks

Locale

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Natar Barlow tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Karen Ward cannot find his mother.

Worms!

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

Morgan Rook likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Kids

A town has been taken over by children, and all the adults have been slain.

Hendricks Ghani managed to escape from the town.

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.

Kharda Hickory does not recognize you. Ashet Daeren does not trust outsiders.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Julie Amal thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

Fight Club

A secret underground fight club has sprung up.

Monty Mervor is mad because someone talked about it.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Stella Hume's sister is one of those still awake.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Sawyer Hasan cannot see the creature you describe. Olivia Payne has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

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.

Maggie Mournhell, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.
