Plot Hooks

Locale

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Katja Schmidt it told by the gods when the world will end. Jonas Terryn believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

Kids

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

Dag Stoutheart managed to escape from the town.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

Claudia Kastrix hasn't been seen for days.

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.

Kallum Wood believes this easy money. Helsora Huon has a bad feeling about this.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Safia Wrynn thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Riley Scott has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Olivier Molyneaux says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Ember Mervor is the grandchild of the late wizard.

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.

Zoe Birchfall, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Sophie Silverleaf is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Monty Summer used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.
