Plot Hooks

Locale

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Jim Terryn is determined to find out what happened. Mugheer Oak thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Ego Sorra says the sea is acting strange this morning. Charlie Joybrook remarks that tide is all wrong.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Blake Hamlin is losing their mind, the end has come. Zaeim Hogan this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Doran Belet believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Honey Briggs don't trust magic, never will.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Zaeim Barlow is rooting for the woman.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Lana Huon.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Dinan Ashbringer warns of danger on the seas. Max Marshall believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Mugheer Daeren is willing to let the party borrow horses.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Malak Reece has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Maz Wolfbrother claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.
