Plot Hooks

Locale

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Liara Aquilegia believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Sandra Selentia fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Frozen Lake

A lake has become frozen through, but it's the middle of summer. beneath the ice, someone can be heard screaming for help.

Doran Ashbringer thinks the person calling for help is a demon.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Martha Hickory was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

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.

Sisco Woodfur used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Donovan Bladefist has never seen a creature like this. Katya Hynes used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Sumesh Wildwood and Rebecca Roderick claim to have seen the murder occur.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Caroc Silverleaf, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Ember Schmidt recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Libby Snaketail was a child, their father went missing.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Olivier Sebastian believes dragons are just a myth. Avery Stone is afraid of thunder.
