Plot Hooks

Locale

The Translators

A foreigner is looking for translators on his journey to a mysterious land.

Frederick Harber almost decided to go with the foreigner.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Bernie Fallenoak, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Bundringo Broadbent seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Skylar Hamid thinks it's the work of the gods.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Nina Walker believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Lucia Briggs believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Reynald Gleeson, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Sawyer Ashbringer is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Arm Wrestling Champion

An arm wrestling league is looking to crown it's latest champion.

Avery Gellar thinks they have what it takes to win.

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.

Sarab Dresdain was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Zaeim Arrias warns of danger on the seas. Kallum Miller believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Lacy Gleeson tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Sam Dempsy cannot find his mother.
