Plot Hooks

Locale

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Pete Blacksmith is worried they'll lose their home.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Emyr Scott has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Nadeera Turner thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Mila Pierce says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Mushin Pierce feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Kathryn Monroe wants to help the dwarves.

The Pursuer

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

Eden Abbey and their partner Mandy Winterheart were both in the squad, and are looking to pay bodyguards to keep them safe.

Pirate Court

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

Olivier Clarke has gone to each day of the trial.

Maniac Maze

More than one adventuring group has been lost in a nearby dungeon.

Sumesh Sams managed to return from the dungeon, and swears that the walls shift and move.

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Reiko Erwin won't look you in the eye. Jacek Clarke swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Marge Alhara waits at the edge of the forest. Katinka Hamid asks you to speak on behalf of the village

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Jessica Mazdul thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.
