Plot Hooks

Locale

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Lachlan Ghani is thankful they can still see.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Ruther Carson came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Ragnar Michaels, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Myron Scott saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Fribbington Poots used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

The Professionals

A group of paid adventurers have gone missing while investigating a town of supposed werewolves.

Kael Cruise quit their job to join the group. Their uncle is now paying for word of their disappearance.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Bernie Fae is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

The Possessed

A coven of witches has seemingly called forth demons from the underworld to possess innocents in a nearby town.

It's said the witches want to kill Fletch Quaresh.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Maz Hamid says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Frances Coal claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.
