Plot Hooks

Locale

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Martha Hickory thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Yeti

A mysterious beast with white hair has been seen nearby. It's roars can be heard at night.

Tom Abbey is going to hunt the animal down.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Clio Gellar seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Sisco Broadbent thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Reuben Turner warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Jaden Goldtree once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.

The Wardstone

The town is protected by a magic crystal which is situated at its center. Last night, something stole the crystal. The town is now vulnerable to the evils which reside in the nearby lake and forests.

Elmo Clarke saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Karen Northrend fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Laikyn Loch saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Lee Reece saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

Hurricane

A massive hurricane has sprung up from nowhere.

Bernie Shalamayne heard Sophie Ghani say that a druid is to blame.

The Living Statue

A statue appears in a slightly different pose each morning.

Mikael Brown swears they saw the statue walking around just past midnight when they were younger.

Ghost Horse

A hauntingly scary phantom horse is frightening people at night.

Del Wynne is wondering if the horse is a warning.
