Plot Hooks

Locale

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Dana Banes swears they always knew something was up.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Talia Sorra would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Iris Zaki believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Ralph Vonner don't trust magic, never will.

The Pauper King

You find a beggar on the side of the road outside a major city, looking confused and out of sorts. With a start, you recognize him as the local king.

Quentin Brown says the King has been missing, some believe he was assassinated

Loss

An elf named Cameron recently lost his wife in an attack. He needs help seeking revenge.

Eden Harber is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

Arm Wrestling Champion

An arm wrestling league is looking to crown it's latest champion.

Dieter Alhara thinks they have what it takes to win.

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.

Sisco Deakin swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Arianna Stonesworn wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Bernie Enola isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

A Dire Path

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

Keeley Poots feels the path was blocked on purpose. Bruce Northrend is comfortable going underground.
