Plot Hooks

Locale

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Kerry Blight and Maz Mervor claim to have seen the murder occur.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Maz Boone is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

Night Life

Girls are going missing after visiting a popular tavern at night.

Mica Rana wants the tavern closed down until the girls are found.

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.

Blake Winter, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Claudia Alma saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Marcelin Kensley says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Clark Pierre-Dupois warns you that Ruther James, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Bernie Kensley warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Erica Knight wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

It Descends Upon Us.

The winds have changed and risen to a gale, a freezing rain begins to fall and a road cuts across the harbour. You think you hear the beat of massive wings. A lightning strike reveals a massive beast soaring above the clouds.

Crispin Watson believes dragons are just a myth. Kathryn Sybil is afraid of thunder.

The Druid

A druid named Malfurian is looking for help. A dark Druid called The Elder Servant is attempting to bring murderous beast gods into our world.

Akdir Barrow thinks malfurian is crazy, while Kharda Firebrand is worried he might be onto something.
