Plot Hooks

Locale

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Sarab Barlow believes there is always a bigger fish. Ivan Roberts is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

Gold Filch

You reach to your coin purse the pay for the item and notice, to your dismay, that all your gold is missing.

Ashley Rucker, the shopkeeper, checks his strong box and also finds his gold missing.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Nathaniel Norton, seems to make many significant glances at Mercy Amal.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Elise Rowe swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Jax Defthands wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Ewan Michaels it told by the gods when the world will end. Belor Cragfur believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Kallum Shad, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Charlie Summer seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Yazid Bozier's brother was taken off.

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...

Sigrid Donovan warns of danger on the seas. Mary Hadwell believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.
