Plot Hooks

Locale

Wolves and Sheep

Upon arriving in town you notice the people are downtrodden. As well, the tavern interior is trashed. A group of brigands lives nearby.

Rowan Kensley is concerned the brigands controlling the trade route out of town is going to kill everyone in the town. Renee Portman knows where the brigands attack caravans

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.

Pascal Norman thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Randle AnaanShan refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Baasim Arrias tells you not to go down that road. Ewan Zaros smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Valeria Barlow was the first to die. Sawyer Firebrand is the one who killed them.

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Dina Kovak heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Arianna Emberfoot has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Nelson Beech feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Sahin Ferncloud has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Anya Weston thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.
