Plot Hooks

Locale

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Weston Stormrage seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

John Roundtree thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Hanks Oak was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Laikyn Bryce is losing their mind, the end has come. Dag Wilton this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Off Day!

There's nothing to do today! Absolutely nothing!

Etienne Marid said something, but you don't even need to listen!

Brewfest

The brew fest has arrived! But the caravan carrying the brew has not, and it has now been a week overdue.

Henry Weston ordered the brews from the nearby city weeks ago. Femlin Roderick is prepared to cancel the breakfast if the brews are not found.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Luce Mervor was bitten by a mimic.

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.

Elmo Wrynn knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

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.

Heidi Thom swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Dorian Mehmed wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.
