Plot Hooks

Locale

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Kallum Stormrage heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Dub Oaktree went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

A Dire Path

The obvious path to your goal is blocked. There is a side route however, but it is far more dangerous.

Olivia Brown feels the path was blocked on purpose. Parker Donovan is comfortable going underground.

The Ageless

A small group of travelling wanderers seem to not age.

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

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Ruther Sams does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

The Pyromancer

Everytime a young girl in town has a bad dream, a structure is lit on fire. She can't control it, but having her around is dangerous.

Vivien Erwin wants to banish the child, while Fribbington Wolfbrother thinks maybe something worse is in order.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Fiana Anwen believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Parsons Nozzlenuck believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Olivier Hamilton is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Marilyn Faelyn likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

The Troll

A troll has been terrorizing nearby villages.

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