Plot Hooks

Locale

The Paladin's Oath

A well known Paladin has been found guilty of a gruesome murder. You know, however, he is innocent because you were with him during that time.

Kasim Mulgrew and Sahin Faelyn claim to have seen the murder occur.

Map Quest

A map has been found, which leads to another map, and then another...

Kasim Gemtree believes that eventually one of the dang maps will lead to treasure.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Dmitri Weston needs help stopping them.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Quintus Silvergem, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. George Adir is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Ticking

A loud ticking, like from a clock, can be heard coming from the forest.

Parker Hickory wonders what will happen if the ticking stops.

Parasite

A small water based parasite has been attaching itself to people who swim in a nearby lake. Once attached, they can control the bodies of their hosts.

Abdul Selentia is convinced they're the only person in town not possessed.

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.

Jasper Pierce has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Walter Mattell has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Don Goldpetal believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Brittany Marshall's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Riley Enola can't blame them, gravy is delicious.
