Plot Hooks

Locale

The Floating Gang

A group of bandits have set up a floating community just off the coast, where they terrorize passing ships.

Cynthia Colman went out to join the gang.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Doran Kastrix does not recognize you. Jacques Enola does not trust outsiders.

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.

Katherine Spall thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Parsons Anguish heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Lance Fitzgerald went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Everyone's a Winner

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

Alam Faelyn challenges you to a drinking game. Karen Zaki is collecting bets on the games.

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.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Vivien Lord claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Blake Leaffall has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

The New God

A woman in town believes she can become the god of the sea if she drowns herself, and then kills the actual god of the sea.

Alan Dalton is rooting for the woman.

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.

Sarab Wazels swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Elmo Ellis wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.
