Plot Hooks

Locale

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Gar Hickory saw Alondra Pierce speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Holy War

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

Manuel Freeman is die hard in their resolve that they worship the best god.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Kallum Erwin thinks the fortress sank, Roman Wood thinks it was built underground.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Alicia Roderick suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Lara Wood says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

River Stonesworn thinks the man is innocent.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Jackson Rowe says Raven is standoffish and rude.

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.

Ned Orsan is losing their mind, the end has come. Hana Smyth this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Payment Due

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

Bernie Goldtree admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Fletch Elonil may be willing to loan them what they need.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Yazid Scott has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.
