Plot Hooks

Locale

Just a Dream

Every year on the night before your birthday, you dream that you are murdered by a man in black armour. You find yourself in an inn, the innkeeper is an old man. On the mantle is a wicked looking sword and familiar black armour...

Sisco Alhara says the innkeeper used to be an infamous adventurer many decades before. Hugh Arrias says the innkeeper's exploits are mostly unknown, as is where he got his armour.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Max Donovan met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Lia Fae believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

Tiefling Trouble

A tiefling named Rokul is being targeted by a mysterious assassin.

Elevrir Faelyn seems to think the assassin is one of the Black Birds, a group of hired killers. Sumesh Pierce doesn't think the Black Birds even exist.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Luthor Amal saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Fribbington Sams thinks that Zaeim Terryn is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

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.

Calla Carson wants the wish and will stop at nothing to get it.

The Missing Letter

A letter proving a man's innocence has gone missing, a day before he is to be hung.

Finley Mudclaw hates the man, and swore to Taylor Massa that nothing would save him.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Jacques Darkstripe cannot see the creature you describe. Marcel Stormrage has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

A Dire Path

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

Sahin Ashfield feels the path was blocked on purpose. Amira Colman is comfortable going underground.
