[QUOTE="Yami no Hon, post: 3470978, member: 29447"] [b]2nd contend update - plot hooks[/b] Lethe is a small town dressed in a big town’s clothing. In the summer, all the rich people from the cities of the planes, that is the Styx mostly, come up to the ancient capital to escape the heat. In the winter however, they return to their towers and palaces, leaving Lethe’s citizens to care for their vacant homes. As a consequence, the town has all the rumor-mongering and politicking of a big city, and barely a fifth of the populations. At the time they were there, a number of things were being discussed which might have been of interest to an adventuring corps. For one a group of goblins – which for some people might have been all the reason necessary to go adventuring – came to town twice a year to sell a strange apple. The one they brought in the summer healed and brought long life to everyone who ate a piece of it, the fruit sold in the winter did the exact opposite. The goblins were known to be based in the ruins of a citadel which had fallen, some hundred and fifty years prior, into a chasm up in the mountains. It begged the question, where did the apples come from? I’m not entirely sure any of them even heard this mentioned. There were reports of live stock dying mysteriously in the night, with many small needle like wounds. The six adventurers however were of the view that food comes from the store, and really were not all that concerned with any stage of its production prior to the point where they tried to bargain with a greengrocer. They were not interested in investigating the deaths of sheep. What they were interested in was the story of one Mrs. Hercule. The widow’s only children had both joined an adventuring party the previous summer, and had set out along the Old Road to the ruins. They had not been seen since. At Palandora’s urging, the rest of the adventurers agreed to find out what the fate of the youths had been, and return with definitive news one way or the other. [/QUOTE]
