Plot Hooks

Locale

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Max Huon isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

A Stone's Throw

During his crowning ceremony, the Prince is struck in the head by a stone thrown from the crowd, his wound is great and falls into coma.

River Hume, the King's brother, immediately claims the throne as his nephew is no longer capable of ruling. Gareth Bergel claims there is civil war on the horizon unless someone can heal the boy's wounds and prove the Uncle's involvement.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Doran Zantus's sister is one of those still awake.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Kendra Bladefist is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Pallav Poots tells you not to go down that road. Rowan Colman smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

The Tournament

A fighting tournament to the death is being held for the king's pleasure. The winner will receive anything he asks for from the King.

Nev Fitzgerald is eager to sign up.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Nayeli Malfoy believes dragons are just a myth. Femlin Oak is afraid of thunder.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Winona Moran came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Dragon King

An ancient dragon has eaten the rightful King and all of his heirs. He now lives in the throne room and is demanding to be called King.

Clio Cruise doesn't really care who the king is.
