Plot Hooks

Locale

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Derrick Spall watched the invaders burn a village. Rowan Quaresh wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

Night Life

Girls are going missing after visiting a popular tavern at night.

Isis Whisperwind wants the tavern closed down until the girls are found.

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.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Ember Zaros was bitten by a mimic.

The Gambler

A man has been caught cheating at a card game in the tavern. He's being held in jail, but swears that he doesn't even know how to play the card game.

Blake Korsk seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Miriam Ali cannot identify where the wounds come from. Avery Monroe suggests you speak to the local seer.

The Race

The Townmaster is putting on a horse race. The winner wins big.

Hardwin Deverin has never ridden before, but is joining up all the same.

The Duel

Two men are going to duel to the death for the hand of a woman. Neither know the woman has secretly married the person she really loves.

Ewan Hemlock is the one who married the woman.

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.

Altes Donovan swears they always knew something was up.
