Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Cyntia Anwen fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Lucia Destrier is a child who dreams of adventure.

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Lana Reddy won't look you in the eye. Vuska Duval swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Lia Summer, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Derrick Clarke is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Sumesh Hume, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Stella Marshall is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

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.

Sarab Stormrage swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Jacques Wilton wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Enzo Korsk thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Dianne James has been missing in this region for days.

The Sinkhole

More than one farm has been swallowed up by a sinkhole in the area. Someone needs to find out what is going on.

It's believed by Lara Clarke that giant worms are to blame.
