Campaign Notes, Plot points, Ideas

Plot Point Ideas and Events

 * The PC's are hired by Ulroff Stormbrewer to find and free his blood-kinsmen Orsik, Thulron, and Dergav from captivaty wherever that may be.
 * Players must scour the town and surrounding areas for information relating to the kidnapping and incarceration of Ulroff's bretheren.
 * Ulroff hires the PC's under a very juicy Imperial Adventurers guild contract that would basically give them the status of a noble elite when it comes to lower rung imperial and local laws. They are given the Rings of the Serpent Elementals and are now officially the newest members of the Valestrider Legacy. In fact they are the first active members of the company in 187 years.
 * Orsik and his men barely escaped Stormsend Keep with their lives after his very successfull and prosperous mining encampment was assaulted, pillaged, and destroyed by Hobgoblin Raiders led by Blacktusk Orcs. When they reached town they were brought in front of the Lord Constable by their close friend Aelwyyn Ealfedor an elven captain in the Waywatch.
 * The Lord constable listened to their story, fed them, then had Ravengard mercanaries assault, shackle, and haul them away. He then threatened Aelwynn with death if word of it got out. "They all perished, you hear me".

Early Sidequest ideas:

Lately, under Constable Morningscar's command, the Whispered ones have been all but dismantled and destroyed allowing the Dagrfolk to rise to the top. Daz tells the PC's about a very high paying bounty on a Whispered One emply named "The Vermin King". It could be your in if you find the brigand and bring him to the constable.
 * Daz also tells you about a high ranking member of the Dagrfolk being appointed as the hold's Master of Mercantile Treasuries under Balosh Shadowmend's instruction. This seems like a very greasy move you would make if you were trying to fund very shady enterprises... A party is being thrown in his honor in the Wayfell District.
 * Acolytes of the Oracle are searching for an artifact lost when their temple was attacked and destroyed last season. The Artifact is a magically locked scroll case containing one of the 4 arcane verses required to open the gates of the _____ Acropolis. The Acropolis is a sort of fortress where over the millenia, arcane sages, divine aspects, and heroic champions locked away the most vile, evil, and powerful magical items and dangerous arcane knowledge so they could never fall in the hands of evil...
