Plot Hooks

Locale

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Jessica Ali wants to banish the child, while Illian Firebrand thinks maybe something worse is in order.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Olivier Summer thinks the boy has been cursed.

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.

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

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Matthew Hynes.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Shangela Marshall claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Elana Mervor has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Doran Shad won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Fribbington Thalnir mistrusts the new guards.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Katherine Enola has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Shark Ashfield has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Sandra Proudhands was the one who discovered the tribe.
