Plot Hooks

Locale

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Kael Treespeaker does not recognize you. Elias Selentia does not trust outsiders.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Weston Destrier wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Frances Mervor saw Nigel Unbroken speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Maria Rook used to date the jester.

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.

Doran Diamondtree wants to banish the child, while Nikolas Spall thinks maybe something worse is in order.

The Race

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

Justin Wazels has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Kylie Jordan's sister is one of those still awake.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Sumesh Deakin was bitten by a mimic.
