Plot Hooks

Locale

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Sisco Wood has been missing in this region for days.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Fiona Balbrek used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

The New Chef

A new chef has been hired at the tavern. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up for his first day.

Etienne Marid saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Kylie Carson, seems to make many significant glances at Sisco Hawkwing.

Slavers!

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

Garry Amal assures you this is an easy job.

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.

Eden Hume has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Patrick Gemleaf thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Lulu Nozzlenuck says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

Pirate Court

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

Miriam Ashfield has gone to each day of the trial.

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 Maz Roberts was a child, their father went missing.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Trixie Portman tells you not to go down that road. Marcelin Kastrix smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.
