Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

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

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Pete Anwen heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

The Druid

A druid named Malfurian is looking for help. A dark Druid called The Elder Servant is attempting to bring murderous beast gods into our world.

Ralph Ghani thinks malfurian is crazy, while Marge Connington is worried he might be onto something.

Payment Due

A mysterious man is in town claiming that he's owed money.

Dina Black admits that they do owe the man money, but they just don't have it. Charlie Pierce may be willing to loan them what they need.

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.

Landon Scott has been missing in this region for days.

Queen Crazy Pants

The Queen has gone insane, and bathes in the blood of attractive people in an effort to keep herself youthful.

Garry Bradley is a little peeved the Queen hasn't attempted to take them yet.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Elana Terryn has a fear of giants.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Sumesh Pegg watched the invaders burn a village. Bruce Brocksby wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Mugheer Connington got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.
