Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Munir Larchwood often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Finley Tathdel has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

The Ball

The King and Queen are throwing a ball. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY

Vivien Hale might shave their legs.

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Blake Winterheart fell and broke their leg.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Eldar Donovan saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Lance Carter fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

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...

Katarina Weston says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Kalak Potter says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

The Yeti

A mysterious beast with white hair has been seen nearby. It's roars can be heard at night.

Jevon Fae is going to hunt the animal down.

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Nathalie Thom it told by the gods when the world will end. Sisco Rook believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Finley Banes is letting the man stay at their house.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Daphne Dresdain is losing their mind, the end has come. Ruth Moongarden this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.
