Plot Hooks

Locale

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Jim Hume first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

River Bowes says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Doran Massa has never seen a creature like this. Kashida Hawkwing used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Alam Zaki believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Alicia Greentree fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

A Father

A grieving man is willing to do anything to get his dead child back.

Zaeim Mehmed is worried the man is going to make a deal with a dark force.

The Dragon Sword

A sword said to be able to easily kill dragons has been lost in a dungeon and must be recovered.

It's said that Ragnar Knight knows exactly where the dungeon is.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Aric Jordan thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

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.

Joel Sams was the first to die. Julie Laroque is the one who killed them.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Aviad Daeren is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.
