Plot Hooks

Locale

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Charlie Crewe invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Martha Monroe offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

It's a Hog's Life

After a night of drinking and feasting in the town, you awaken to find the town empty of villagers and instead it is filled with hogs

Katinka Lledrod says the town worships a respectable goddess of the land, harvest and charity. Caitlin Spring only allows those who are strictly invited to the feats to participate.

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Aviad Reedwater seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Etienne Frost saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Josua Winter fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

Holy War

Two armies have begun a war with one another, but they don't know that they actually serve the same trickster god.

Clementine Ali is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

The Shopping List

A travelling wizard needs helps gathering supplies for his potions.

Bundringo Proudhands seems to think the wizard is a fake, and may be leading the party toward doom.

The Dead Beggars

The town's beggars are nowhere to be found. At least not until their shallow graves are discovered and exhumed.

Landon Zaki thinks that less beggars in town is a good thing.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Nina Terryn hasn't stopped crying in a week.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Maxwell Pierre-Dupois often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Penelope Loch has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.
