Plot Hooks

Locale

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Bundringo Davis waits at the edge of the forest. Rebecca Todd asks you to speak on behalf of the village

A Father

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

Sisco Sorra is worried the man is going to make a deal with a dark force.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

Avery Scott wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Nelson Stonesworn likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Maz El-Hasan is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Dael Anwen refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Sumesh Greene is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Simon Ellis was forced to kill their brother last night.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Tiatha Sebastian, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Hanks Moran believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Daniel Tinkereye apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.
