Plot Hooks

Locale

Tiefling Trouble

A tiefling named Rokul is being targeted by a mysterious assassin.

Fiana Molyneaux seems to think the assassin is one of the Black Birds, a group of hired killers. Dina Kastrix doesn't think the Black Birds even exist.

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.

Bundringo Dalton believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Lucy Fae don't trust magic, never will.

The Deadly Gaze

A man in town can kill anyone by looking into their eyes.

Raven Mervor has taken to wearing a blindfold.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Vidar Mervor was a child, their father went missing.

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.

Gawen Scott has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Peter Alard claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Lydia Gemtree believes this easy money. Mushin Duffield has a bad feeling about this.

The Relic

While perusing a local shop, you are drawn to an old, rusty sword. It feels familiar in your hand and when you turn it over you find your name engraved on the blade.

Nena Dalton, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Ego Wildwood recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

The Pursuer

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

Clark Norman and their partner Mushin Ali were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.
