Plot Hooks

Locale

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Shangela Todd heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Barty Stonesworn went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Dina Freeman, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Manuel Payne is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Kallum Ferrier wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

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.

Summer Bigtooth saw Rowan Pierce speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

William Hadwell has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Cole Windrunner claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Vidar Jones came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Mica Deadeye thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

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.

Sylvie Scott was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

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.

Mila Birchfall, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Max Winterheart saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.
