Plot Hooks

Locale

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Erolith Black waits at the edge of the forest. Libby Brocksby asks you to speak on behalf of the village

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Kharda Marid cannot identify where the wounds come from. Mace Harber suggests you speak to the local seer.

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?

Marcellus Laroque was bitten by a mimic.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Mia Massa thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Taylor Pierce needs help stopping them.

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Tanis Mehmed heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Sawyer Alma was forced to kill their brother last night.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Finley El-Hasan thinks that Sapphire Darwin is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

The Actor
