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.

Tarc Winter, the elderly shopkeeper, says the sword has been in this shop for as long as he can remember. Sapphire Nighy recognizes you, but cannot quite place where from.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Sawyer Marshall first saw the man while heading back to town.

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Marge Goldpetal does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Doran Desolation the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Maxwell Vonner seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

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...

Sahin Vonner warns of danger on the seas. Bob Fordragon believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

The Orc Leader

Zurk is a half orc who wants to leave his orc clan life behind. But his father expects him to take over his role as chief.

Lacey Travis thinks that an orc will never change their stripes.

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.

Elise Mournhell believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Ismael Sybil believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Angie Brocksby can guide you to the location where the star fell. Parker Spall noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

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.

Nathalie Adir, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Bundringo Ellis saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.
