Plot Hooks

Locale

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

Phoebe Mehmed saw the troll speaking to a man who looked like a wizard.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Conn Fordragon has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

The Last Wish

A stone has been found which houses a genie willing to grant wishes. He says he has one last wish he may grant, but wants to give it to someone who really deserves it.

Sahin Hickory wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Jenny Stormrage knew they should have moved.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Abdul Cruise is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

It Awakens

There is an old, forgotten and sealed tomb that the local children like to visit. After the thaw of winter the tomb is left open and empty... broken from the inside.

Emyr Ghani often reminds children not to go near the tomb. Jessica Orsan has seen the ghost of an old man near the tomb.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Alaya Orsan doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Elias Truthseeker does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

The Prisoner

A man is found passed out by the road. A manacle hangs off one wrist, and his clad in only dirty trousers. He claims he has no memory of where he's come from.

Avery Deakin first saw the man while heading back to town.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Olivia Shimmer mistrusts the new guards.
