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.

Hana Hillard says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Alexis Unbroken has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Fribbington Reedwater was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Malik Spring thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Elisha Banes is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Vivien Banes, Lola Zaros, and Landon Marshall.

The Errant Wizard

A famous wizard was meant to meet you, but never arrived. Rumours has it that the wizard went to the southern coast in search of an artifact, and never returned.

Diego Pierce thinks you should go look for him. The wizard is well-known for absentmindedness, and pursuing his research despite dangers or other concerns

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Morwen Altharia fears they will run out of wood. Chloe Weatherby cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Gavin Watson has gone to each day of the trial.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Fletcher Zaki assures you this is an easy job.
