Plot Hooks

Locale

Loss

An elf named Cameron recently lost his wife in an attack. He needs help seeking revenge.

Conn Roderick is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

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.

Charlie Fae can guide you to the location where the star fell. Elevrir Turner noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

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.

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

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Summer Rowe is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

Creeping Forest

When you awaken, the village is surrounded on all sides by an unfamiliar forest.

Friedrich Spall waits at the edge of the forest. Rebecca Duval asks you to speak on behalf of the village

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.

Eden Reece saw Felicity Hillard having an argument with Barnaby last night.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Kylie Crump swears they always knew something was up.

Anger

Everyone in town is JUST SO FREAKING MAD

Kyris Deverin is totally the most mad.
