Plot Hooks

Locale

Grimoire Gone

A great wizard's spellbook has been stolen. The spellbook holds one of the rarest and most destructive spells.

Yasmin Barrow is terrified that the Wizard's spell is in the world. Marina Selentia may have information on a possible thief.

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Iris Reece thinks the kraken can teleport.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Graak Hickory thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Kael Mazdan is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Iris Laroque thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

The Shopping List

A travelling wizard needs helps gathering supplies for his potions.

Logan Quinn seems to think the wizard is a fake, and may be leading the party toward doom.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Enzo Turner would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Rowan Simpson invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Charlotte Shad offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Fletch Amal, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.
