Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Sazi Kastrix believe the treasure is real, while Virginia Pierce does not.

Druid Trouble

All druids have suddenly turned evil.

A militia led by Joanna Shalamayne are going to hunt down druids.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Sisco Mervor says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

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.

Petra Marshall, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Jessica Kensley saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Paul Norton met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Asa Hillard has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Sam Gemleaf has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Ego Leopardstar believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Godfrey Karim don't trust magic, never will.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Miles Winterheart first saw the man while heading back to town.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Alam Orsan knew they should have moved.
