Plot Hooks

Locale

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Charlotte Amal claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

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.

Luthor Jayid believes this easy money. Denzel Amal has a bad feeling about this.

The Other World

Another world has appeared in the sky, very near to this world.

Pascal Fordragon thinks they might exist on that world, and have a better life.

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.

Beatrix Wood feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Samir Norman wants to help the dwarves.

Forest Fire

A raging fire burns through the forest.

Karen Wilbur is worried they'll lose their home.

Big Cows

Something has happened to a herd of cows and they've grown to giant level over night. The problem is, they're destroying the farms in the area.

Tiatha Everett barely escaped a giant cow stampede with their life.

The Missing Singer

"Brokenstring" Barnaby Button, a gnome musician has been playing the local tavern for a few months now. This morning he is missing, and there's signs of struggle in his room.

Christopher Lachlan saw Lee Clarke having an argument with Barnaby last night.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Logan Boone, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Lillian Donovan saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Sea You Later

The sea has dried up overnight.

Homer Walker is wondering if it's their fault somehow.
