Plot Hooks

Locale

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Blake Bozier has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Vidar Gellar thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Avery Norton swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Delia Beech wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Eden Selwyn is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Finley Weston saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Shark Pierce saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Parker Hogan has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Charlie Ferrier blew away yesterday.

A Stone's Throw

During his crowning ceremony, the Prince is struck in the head by a stone thrown from the crowd, his wound is great and falls into coma.

Kasandra Crewe, the King's brother, immediately claims the throne as his nephew is no longer capable of ruling. Alan Thorn claims there is civil war on the horizon unless someone can heal the boy's wounds and prove the Uncle's involvement.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Avery Whitethorn's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.
