Plot Hooks

Locale

The Big Wave

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

Badaar Stormrage thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Jericho Kastrix mistrusts the new guards.

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.

Galen Sweeny has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

The Druid

A druid named Malfurian is looking for help. A dark Druid called The Elder Servant is attempting to bring murderous beast gods into our world.

Frank Zaros thinks malfurian is crazy, while Doran Ferrier is worried he might be onto something.

Sailor's Warning

It is midday and the sea suddenly pulls back from the shore, leaving docked ships stranded and tidal creatures scuttling for cover. A few moments later, skeletal figures rise from the receding tide and an unearthly bellow shatters the quiet.

Jen Alma says the sea is acting strange this morning. Felicity Roderick remarks that tide is all wrong.

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Dawn Duval claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Jaden Turner has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

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.

Heidi Belet seems to think the man may be possessed by... something.

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Sarab Marshall is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Charlie Orsan led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Jacques Haggard's sister is one of those still awake.
