Plot Hooks

Locale

Poisoned

The town magistrate has been poisoned and hangs on the cusp of death.

George Aquilegia hated the magistrate.

The Fog

A strange fog has rolled in to cover the landscape. Anyone who ventures into the fog, is never seen again.

There have been multiple people who claim to have seen someone, or something moving within the fog, including Riley Pierce.

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.

Maz Orsan swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Hana Sweeny wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Karakta Sybil feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Wendall Fordragon wants to help the dwarves.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

Homer Ghani met the group as a child, and they're all the same age as they were back then.

The Fountain of Truth

There's a mysterious spring in the forest that seems in force those who drink from it tell the truth for a day or so.

Helena Norman drank from the water and is now getting a divorce.

The Missing Librarian

A scholar has been called away to explore a newly discovered ancient mine. He has not returned.

Gregory Enola is friends with the scholar, but Eldar Todd thinks they might have something to do with the scholar's disappearance.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Edgar Bergel thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Anya Carnage suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Taylor Pierce says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.
