Plot Hooks

Locale

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Parsons Portman is thinking about touching the rock.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Sisco Zaki is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Marcus Hamilton thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Ned Poots believes dragons are just a myth. Mona Potter is afraid of thunder.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Joel Duffield says the sea is acting strange this morning. Daphne Nighy remarks that tide is all wrong.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Iris Jordan invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Dawn Quaresh offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

The Invisible Elf

After ingesting a strange plant, an elf has turned invisible.

Geoffrey Silverleaf thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Trixie Shadepelt isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Nicholas Ashbringer won't look you in the eye. Avery Duffield swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry
