Plot Hooks

Locale

Anger

Everyone in town is JUST SO FREAKING MAD

Kali Ironvain is totally the most mad.

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Isabelle Zantus has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Sahin Silvermoon is putting together a group of hunters.

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.

Jarrad Fitzgerald, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Karth Winter saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Holy War

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

Jacques Karim is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Luce Bladefist has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

Avalanche

An avalanche is moving swiftly down the mountain and will be here in moments.

Jericho Zantus is sure everyone will die.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Vivien Cunningham often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Isabella Abasi has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

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.

Vivien Alma saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Pallav Sams saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.
