Plot Hooks

Locale

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Weyland Destrier says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Belor Schmidt says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Maz Greene blew away yesterday.

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.

Lena Flintfang often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Avery Proudfoot has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Kids

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

Sahin Fae managed to escape from the town.

Ghost Tower

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

Lara Kastrix tried to rush past the ghosts but was thrown back fifty feet.

The Arrival

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

Kandon Fallow has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Avery Vonner is worried they'll lose their home.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Jacques Knight believes this easy money. Jody Bladefist has a bad feeling about this.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Aubrey Faelyn's brother was taken off.
