Plot Hooks

Locale

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Emyr Hickory, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Dwyer Dempsy has a fear of giants.

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Miriam Potter says that crows are a bad omen. Rowan Northrend hates birds.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Charlie Enola.

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Katinka Huon fell and broke their leg.

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.

Olivia Lachlan swears they always knew something was up.

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Rowan Fitzgerald says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Sebastian Gemtree says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

Poisoned

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

Ven Faelyn hated the magistrate.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Josua Hale thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.
