Plot Hooks

Locale

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

Denzel Rowan hasn't been seen for days.

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.

Alexandra Dalton thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Quintus Ualas refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Justin Crump met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Matteus Simpson believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Marcel Wright knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Alexandra Roberts believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Marcel Abasi, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Gareth Moongarden, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Tanis Bloodhoof saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Zie Schmidt believe the treasure is real, while Doran Smyth does not.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Fiona Lord is wondering if it's their fault somehow.
