Plot Hooks

Locale

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Charlie Zaki blew away yesterday.

The Missing Singer

"Brokenstring" Barnaby Button, a gnome musician has been playing the local tavern for a few months now. This morning he is missing, and there's signs of struggle in his room.

Vetack Travis saw Mugheer Barlow having an argument with Barnaby last night.

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.

Ivana Shalamayne last time this happened the youngest children from each family went missing. Taylor Autumn says you must always keep the fire burning when the fog rolls in

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Daisy Ashbringer is wondering if the horse is a warning.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Malak Massa is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Friedrich Jones is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Sumesh Blackhammer used to date the jester.

The Floating City

A large city has taken to the air overnight. The ground it rests on has pulled up from the rest of the earth and streaked skyward, leaving the city floating a mile above where it should be.

Winona Clarke was overheard talking about the city floating a week before it actually did.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Laura Deakin, Alondra Colman, and Riley Mervor.
