Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Lucia Whisperwind seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Klaudia Banes has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Kelsey Mulgrew can guide you to the location where the star fell. River Beech noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Marilyn Shad has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Rory Todd is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Lana Laroque saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Danforth Destrier saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Doran Bozier is willing to let the party borrow horses.

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Finley Pierce says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Sahin Pegg is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Rey Quinn is determined to find out what happened. Sahin Brown thinks creatures from space ate the stars.
