Plot Hooks

Locale

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Sumesh Loch mistrusts the new guards.

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Maddie Pierce thinks the man is innocent.

The Dead Killer

A necromancer is bringing forth an army of undead, but there's a mystical sword called Dead Killer which may help turn the tide, if it can be found.

Heidi Crewe will outfit a parry interested in finding the sword.

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

Karen Blackclaw hated the magistrate.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Femlin Watson invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Mia Greene offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

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.

Elvira Crump tells you to take care in the city at night, some folk have been going missing. Rebecca Scott cannot find his mother.

The Waning

The torches, candles and all non-magical fires are burning low and weakly in the city. A dense fog slowly settles over the city. Movement in the fog occasionally shows ghostly humanoid forms moving about.

Olivier Moonstone last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Riley Stone says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Jimbo Duval is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

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.

Emil Quaresh watched the invaders burn a village. Yasmeen Everett wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.
