Plot Hooks

Locale

The Cursed Necklace

A woman in town was gifted a necklace by a secret admirer. Now she's sick, and quickly heading toward death.

The only suspect is Violet Ashbringer.

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?

Arish Clarke was bitten by a mimic.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Joseph Pyre, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Preston Scott recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Jackson Erwin is wondering if the horse is a warning.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Tatiana Rook, Sarab Hadwell, and Anya Knight.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Hardwin Silvervalley would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

Arm Wrestling Champion

An arm wrestling league is looking to crown it's latest champion.

Sisco Faelyn thinks they have what it takes to win.

Night Life

Girls are going missing after visiting a popular tavern at night.

Sumesh Bladefist wants the tavern closed down until the girls are found.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Janette Hickory believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Josh Portman apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.
