Plot Hooks

Locale

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Sadie Greene tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Matthew Greentree cannot find his mother.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Danforth Lord and they don't remember a thing.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Maxwell Quinn has gone to each day of the trial.

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Maz Jayid isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Bodwyn Duval thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Maz Clarke is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Angie Knight says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Arios Anwen, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Eden Alhara recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

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...

Dub Kensley says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Chloe Hickory says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.
