Plot Hooks

Locale

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Etienne Weston waits at the edge of the forest. Stephanie Turner asks you to speak on behalf of the village

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Max Kastrix is thinking about touching the rock.

The Mad King

The King has declared that all of his subjects are evil and must be put to the sword. It seems as though his knights are perfectly willing to do this.

Cyntia Black has heard whispers that the King himself has been brainwashed by Makayla Windrunner.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Tenjon Duffield has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Ui Loch saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

More Money!

Gold pieces have rained down from the sky over a small village. The new wealth has created some problems, to say the least.

Mica Whisperwind went from dirt poor to the richest in town.

Dragon King

An ancient dragon has eaten the rightful King and all of his heirs. He now lives in the throne room and is demanding to be called King.

Isabella Haggard doesn't really care who the king is.

Gravity

Gravity in the forest has changed. People are able to jump nearly a mile.

Gannon Briggs claims they saw someone float away.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Peter Pierce heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Shay Mervor went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.
