Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Sandra Walker thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Angie Wazels refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Alyx Huon is intent on finding the treasure first.

A Creeping Corruption

A ranger has found a spreading disease deep in the forest which is killing all the vegetation and turning the animals mad. The spread will soon reach the outskirts of a local city and the farms that feed it.

Eden Huon believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Bashara Brocksby last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

The Voices

A random group of people around the globe have suddenly begun hearing the same voices whispering to them. The voices tell each of the group to "prepare for war."

{character is jealous that Storm Roderick can hear the voices.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Sigrid Pierre-Dupois fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Oliver Siggurd is a child who dreams of adventure.

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Nathalie Haggard hated the magistrate.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Frederick Ironbrow has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

No Entry

Alyx Deadeye does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Daisy Mervor the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.
