Plot Hooks

Locale

Monster Maker

A man plans to exact revenge on all those who slighted him by creating a monster that will follow his every command.

Esmeralda Snaketail isn't too worried. The guy who wants to create the monster is a known failure.

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Sisco Blueflower is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Alam Boone hates the man, and swore to Finley Fordragon that nothing would save him.

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.

Homer Freeman has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Petra Bozier thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Taylor Shad says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

Fetch Quest

The forest warden has asked you to cull seven black bears as their population has been getting out of control. The innkeeper asks your to bring him five intact bear livers.

Everyone in town repeats the same greetings over and over. Balian Rucker won't speak to you until you prove yourself to the town.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Charlotte Mournhell.

The Duel

Two men are going to duel to the death for the hand of a woman. Neither know the woman has secretly married the person she really loves.

Max Ferrier is the one who married the woman.

Ghost Tower

A stone tower has appeared nearby. A ring of specters is keeping everyone out.

Bernie Pierre-Dupois tried to rush past the ghosts but was thrown back fifty feet.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Mandy Winterheart is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.
