Plot Hooks

Locale

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Yasmeen Monroe believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Sisco Cruise fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Quintus Gleeson warns of danger on the seas. Jaden Korsk believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

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. Jon Windrunner needs help stopping them.

The Singer

A woman has come to town who can put people in a trance by singing to them.

Zoe Cunningham is under the singer's thrall.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Avery Joygrove swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Sam Stonestorm met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

The Chosen

A young boy is being sought out. It is believed he is the only one who can destroy a great evil.

Charlie Lachlan worked with a group to hide the boy so none could find him.

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Josh Marshall is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Natalia Kaye can't wait for the festival markets to open.

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Leo Brown fears they will run out of wood. Eden Loch cannot get out onto the lake to fish.
