Plot Hooks

Locale

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Amy Boone thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

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.

Bashara Marid thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

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.

Eden Shalamayne cannot identify where the wounds come from. Alexis Stonesworn suggests you speak to the local seer.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Hamad Adir is thankful they can still see.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Gwendolyn Horrig and they don't remember a thing.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Sebastian Gleeson talks in their sleep.

A Father

A grieving man is willing to do anything to get his dead child back.

Sawyer Mehmed is worried the man is going to make a deal with a dark force.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Jarrad El-Hasan would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Ui Watson's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.
