Plot Hooks

Locale

Assassination

The prince has uncovered a plot to assassinate his father, and needs help getting to the bottom of it.

Homer Crump has learned that a lot of the King's own men are in on the plot, and that's why the prince is quietly looking for help.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Lucy Kensley says Raven is standoffish and rude.

The Big Wave

A tsunami is quickly approaching the coast. It will hit landfall within the hour!

Derrick Zaros thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Paul Hamlin will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Kathryn Norman thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

The Missing Singer

"Brokenstring" Barnaby Button, a gnome musician has been playing the local tavern for a few months now. This morning he is missing, and there's signs of struggle in his room.

Daventry Mazdul saw Cora Cruise having an argument with Barnaby last night.

Zoo Troubles!

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Sawyer Vonner saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

Melt

The weather has taken an inexplicable turn toward the hot, and the snow and ice are melting. So to, are those who live here in the tundra. A foul magic is at play, and it's a race against time to save everyone as they slowly turn to slush.

Sarab Malfoy thinks the answer lies at the peak of a nearby mountain.

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.

Bundringo Siggurd swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Doran Jordan wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.
