Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Trixie Barlow thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Kiran Hogan has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Blake Selwyn.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Hayden Hale needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Athol Norton saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Cora Potter is thinking of ending it all.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Valeria Stonesworn has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

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.

Sylvia Mulgrew thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Sarab Sams refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Malcolm Moran thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

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.".

Lucia Selwyn does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.
