Plot Hooks

Locale

Premonitions

A woman has begun seeing the future. These premonitions come with no warning, and cause her pain and stress when they do. Her latest premonition deals with the end of the world as we know it.

Frederick Mattell has known the woman with the visions since they were a child.

Monster Maker

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

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

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Fareed Garnik has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Finley Quicktongue has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Eden Fitzgerald used to date the jester.

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.

Hugo Weston often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Riley Turner has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Tami Davis feels the path was blocked on purpose. Sawyer Sorra is comfortable going underground.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Kelsey Alard is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Elvira Lucas can guide you to the location where the star fell. Theodora Briggs noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Doran Turner saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.
