Plot Hooks

Locale

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Duck Quaresh says the sea is acting strange this morning. Sisco Weatherby remarks that tide is all wrong.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Ashet Simpson swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Fareed Shadowcloak wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Leo Fitzgerald can't blame them, gravy is delicious.

Playing God

A man who recently lost his wife is said to be attempting to bring her back by putting her soul within a flesh golem.

Angar Hale saw the widower digging up his wife's grave.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Bundringo Winterheart, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

Everyone's a Winner

The pub is offering up a series of tournaments: cards, drinking, darts and music. Prizes include magic items and treasure.

Fribbington Nighy challenges you to a drinking game. Liam Marshall is collecting bets on the games.

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.

Zie Deverin will outfit a parry interested in finding the sword.

God Fight!

Two gods have come to the mortal plain and are duking it out.

Ivan Roderick is rooting for the more handsome god.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

Riley Miller thinks the boy has been cursed.
