Plot Hooks

Locale

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Fletcher AnaanShan isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

The Woman in White

You are haunted by visions of a dead woman in white. She disappears when you walk in a particular direction, but otherwise she bars your way.

Sumesh Poots won't make eye contact with you. Vivian Miller calls you 'haunted', and makes a warding sign.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Ember Hynes was the first to die. Yusef Elonil is the one who killed them.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Sarab Carson and they don't remember a thing.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Stuart Sams has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Sisco Michaels has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Hiram Poots knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Rowan Hogan believes this easy money. Maz Orsan has a bad feeling about this.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Daphne Arrias is putting together a group of hunters.

The Possessed

A coven of witches has seemingly called forth demons from the underworld to possess innocents in a nearby town.

It's said the witches want to kill Hardwin Karim.
