Plot Hooks

Locale

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Tiffany Potter mistrusts the new guards.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Jakob Freeman seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

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 Conn Bigtooth was a child, their father went missing.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Aria Wolfbrother thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

The Waning

The torches, candles and all non-magical fires are burning low and weakly in the city. A dense fog slowly settles over the city. Movement in the fog occasionally shows ghostly humanoid forms moving about.

Lia Ualas last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Bundringo Mossrock says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Rose Huon cannot see the creature you describe. Roan Winterheart has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Hiram Bigtooth swears they always knew something was up.

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.

Sumesh Malfoy believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Aria Mervor last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Yasmin Hume was the one who discovered the tribe.
