Plot Hooks

Locale

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Klaudia Terryn does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Mary Greene the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Olivier Schmidt.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Mona Mournhell cannot identify where the wounds come from. Doran Orsan suggests you speak to the local seer.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Lionheart Shimmer fears they will run out of wood. Helena Briggs cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Riley Pierce thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Killian Greenflower thinks they look better bald.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Doran Watson saw Lillian Quaresh speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

Vuska Colman claims they saw someone float away.

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.

Akdir Abbey won't look you in the eye. Elevrir Kaye swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry
