Plot Hooks

Locale

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Arnold Watson bought the doll as a gift.

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Doran Crewe is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Cole Alma may have information on a possible thief.

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...

Ui Hale warns of danger on the seas. Tami Faelyn believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Patrick Elonil saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Bruce Belet knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Marion Malfoy does not recognize you. Beatrix Ferrier does not trust outsiders.

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.

Kharda Wrynn fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Kyle Frost is a child who dreams of adventure.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Frederick Weatherby has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Shirley Alhara thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Kandon Quinn says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Ben Michaels admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Monica Ghani may be willing to loan them what they need.
