Plot Hooks

Locale

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Friedrich Bowes and Bundringo Cruise claim to have seen the murder occur.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Eden Wolfbrother believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Rebecca Joygrove can guide you to your destination for a fee.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Maxwell Maelor thinks that Eliot Destrier is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Bundringo Ironvain feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Sarab Mournhell has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Kasper Zantus won't make eye contact with you. Blake Mournhell calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Mila Marshall cannot identify where the wounds come from. Henry Colman suggests you speak to the local seer.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Marina Terryn's sister is one of those still awake.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Kallum Bladefist mistrusts the new guards.
