Plot Hooks

Locale

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Alan Mervor does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

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?

Doran Weston was bitten by a mimic.

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.

Mervyn Blackfist saw Shannon Huon speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Lena Bane saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Marilyn Nighy saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Riley Scott seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Sawyer Everett is rooting for the more handsome god.

A New World

You are part of a fleet of colony ships. Struck by a storm the fleet was scattered, and your ship makes landing on an unknown shore. The other ships are lost and the inhabitants are unhappy that you are here.

Kallum Everett is concerned about the gathering storm clouds. Sadie Sams expects the the land to be empty of intelligent beings.

Fool's Gold

You are given a gold coin for your service to a strange old man. Everytime you open your coin purse, you find only that coin, even if you place other coins in with it.

Ashet Briggs offers you a magic item for your service to him. Honey Barrow warns that greed consumes all.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Hector Norton is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.
