Plot Hooks

Locale

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Dwyer Laroque mistrusts the new guards.

The Closed Mine

A nearby mine has closed, laying off a hundred workers, who now have no idea how they're going to support themselves and their families.

Turok Ghani thinks the owner of the mine is up to something shady.

The Ball

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

Alaysia Norman might shave their legs.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Olivier Reddy is thankful they can still see.

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Blake Windrunner almost decided to go with the foreigner.

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Tanis Haggard thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Joanna Roderick, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Seymor Haggard likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Hana Massa doesn't trust the elves.
