Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Michael Greentree says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Lariat Deadeye thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Elias Selentia hasn't stopped crying in a week.

The Cursed Farm

Anyone who eats produce grown at the Big Steer Farm is transformed into raving lunatics intent on nothing but destruction and harm.

The farm was recently sold to Heidi Abbey.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Martha Boone does not recognize you. Tatiana Sorra does not trust outsiders.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Fribbington Abasi drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

River Selentia thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

It Writhes in the Deeps

A massive, terrifying sea monster washes up on shore next to the city with a massive bite taken out of its side. Over the next week many ships are lost at sea,

Elias Cunningham believes there is always a bigger fish. Dmitri Banes is a doomsayer who believes this is an omen of the end.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Parker Jones's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.
