Plot Hooks

Locale

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Aura Bozier says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Blake Deadeye is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Grandfather's Painting

A local lord is looking for a band of thieves to sneak into an aristocrats home and steal a painting that the lord's grandfather created decades ago.

Bundringo Gellar thinks the aristocrat should just give the painting back to the lord.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Marilyn Crewe believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Nina Weston don't trust magic, never will.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Virginia Reddy thinks they look better bald.

Off Day!

There's nothing to do today! Absolutely nothing!

Eden Rowe said something, but you don't even need to listen!

The Pursuer

A hulking monster has been sent to hunt down members of a military squad which fought in the last great war.

Arish Orvar and their partner Maz Travis were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Ruby Ashbringer bought the doll as a gift.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Deimos Watson cannot see the creature you describe. Jade Rucker has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Diego Rana thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Godfrey Whisperwind refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.
