OK - I was debating which halfing to give the hook to, but it looks like Banion is elected. Halfings make up only 2% of the Vastermarch, so it's possible this is where Banion is from, but it doesn't really matter. The hook is largely as follows.
Banion has a first cousin(?) once removed whom he has never met. His father's cousin is named Poto Knezer. Poto's mother is Banion's aunt. Poto's father is said to have been a gnome. While it is not so very unusual for a halfling to become involved with a gnome, there have been no documented cases of offspring, thus this story may be apocraphal. None the less, Poto Knezer has been a successful adventurer whose stories are often told in Banion's family. Banion has never met Poto. He is now supposedly high up in some sort of halfling mafia in the Vastermarch & elsewhere. He's supposedly wealthy & connected. He's the only person Banion can think of who might be able to offer protection & employment. Last Banion heard, Poto Knezer was living in the town of Braeholl. This town is not on the map, but is located in the very nothern part of the Vastermarch. Perhaps the halflings can decide upon this as an exit strategy in their current adventure. If they can decide to head to the Northern Vastermarch, I'll take it from there in my adventure thread.
Feel free to expand on the details of this family connection in Banion's history. Feel free to modify is in minor ways. The more you expand it, the more I can do with it.
Eusebius' hook will come when he visits the temple of Hyrag in Orussus. Feel free to post an exit to the RDI, then I'll start him up in the adventure thread. Presumably after his hook is in place, he'll decide that Juliana would be a big help in his quest & will go get her. If Boog is in the RDI, Eusebius would probably want him to come along as well. If he's not, then I'll catch him in a different hook.
