Plot Hooks

Locale

The Red Star

A local doomsayer has been claiming the end is nigh. On the night of his 'coming doom', a red star streaks across the sigh and crashes into an old ruin in the nearby hills.

Taylor Payne it told by the gods when the world will end. Clark Frost believes falling stars are natural phenomena and do not suggest the end of the world.

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.

Jeffrey Fallenoak saw a great winged demon descent from the mountains and take the gem. Reiko Gleeson fears the town is incapable of defending itself without the gem.

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.

Ceri Baggins thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

The Coming Dark

A tribe of dark elves have been banished from their home, and are looking for a new one.

Jody Brocksby doesn't trust the elves.

The Yeti

A mysterious beast with white hair has been seen nearby. It's roars can be heard at night.

Fiona Bozier is going to hunt the animal down.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Isabella Lucas fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Pete Scott is a child who dreams of adventure.

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.

Karen Karim heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Orren Loch went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Princess Problems

A princess is said to disappear once a month, and no one can find her. It may be related to the bodies around town that spring up that same night.

Ego Hasan feels crazy for being the only person to realize the princess is a werewolf.

What Now?

Another group of adventurers has killed the Big Bad.

Lorelei Hickory thought your group would be the one to do it.
