Plot Hooks

Locale

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Gowen Cruise hated the magistrate.

Ghost Tower

A stone tower has appeared nearby. A ring of specters is keeping everyone out.

Franklin Wynne tried to rush past the ghosts but was thrown back fifty feet.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Henry Hemlock is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

Tax Time

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

Don Roderick seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Dieter Duffield is thinking of ending it all.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Phoebe Scott hasn't cried in years until now.

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Theodora Bloodhoof does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

George Halgar thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

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.

Michael Connington watched the invaders burn a village. Jonas Hasan wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.
