Plot Hooks

Locale

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Kamal Ironfist fell and broke their leg.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Owen Marshall feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Vuska Cunningham wants to help the dwarves.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Lena Kaye is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Helsora AnaanShan led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

Riley Duval came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Bundringo Darwin first saw the man while heading back to town.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Sisco Mournhell has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Parker Clarke thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

The Host

A lonely old man is eager for company. He may not be who he says he is, however.

Lachlan Travis warns everyone to stay away from the old man.

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.

Joel Gale saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Desmond Weatherby fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.
