Plot Hooks

Locale

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Jordan Watson heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

The Hairy King

The King has come down with a case of the ol' werewolf-itis. The Queen would prefer no one know.

Henry Bryce has their suspicions that the King might be a werewolf.

The Floor is Lava

A mad wizard has created a much to real game of the floor is lava for his grandson.

Dawn Unbroken burned their foot the other day.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Lois Barrow thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Marilyn Pegg, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Raed Moran saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Galen Scott tells you not to go down that road. Caroc Knight smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

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.

Charlie Gleeson suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Hendricks Hogan says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

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.

Linda Roberts and Kasper Jordan claim to have seen the murder occur.

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.

Dax Reece went out to join the gang.
