Plot Hooks

Locale

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Guthrum Alard says that crows are a bad omen. Manuel Wilbur hates birds.

The Ship

A wrecked warship has washed up on the beach. Problem is, it's a ship that hasn't even been launched yet from the nearby port.

Sumesh Pegg is supposed to work on the ship during its maiden voyage.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Emyr Dunstan thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Jessica Windrunner has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Deilos Deverin says Raven is standoffish and rude.

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.

Enzo Rook often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Ruby Winterheart has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Roger Loch fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Olivier Fitzgerald is a child who dreams of adventure.

Farmhouse Haunting

A young boy went missing years ago, and his spirit has been haunting his poor mother and father since. They need help finding what they need to do to get their son to pass on from this world, so they can try to find peace themselves.

Elise Zaros thinks that the boy was kidnapped and killed, while Galvur Mournhell believes the boy never left the farm...

Ghost Tower

A stone tower has appeared nearby. A ring of specters is keeping everyone out.

Joanna Poots tried to rush past the ghosts but was thrown back fifty feet.
