Plot Hooks

Locale

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 Ewan Duval.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Mace Northrend believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Hardwin Gellar believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Hiram Miller swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Kelsey Reddy has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Dawn Enola has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

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.

Doran Erwin has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Jericho Mulgrew thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Kallum Thom says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Lost Tribe

Hundreds of years ago an Elvish tribe vanished from the forest in which they lived. Now, they're back, and no time at all has seemed to pass for them.

Sarab Scott was the one who discovered the tribe.

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Violet Nighy was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

Ice Storm

A severe winter storm has hit, and it's going to take skill and luck to survive the deep freeze.

Trixie The Fierce is worried that they won't make it through the storm.

The Surgeon

You spend a night drinking with the locals. You remember little from the night before when you awaken, strapped to an operating table.

Aubrey Spring tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Makayla Rucker cannot find his mother.
