Story Hooks and Adventure Seeds

This entry is editable by everyone. Please add possible story hooks and adventure seeds for everyone to use to the list. If there is something about your character that you’d like someone else to run, please add it here.

You can be as descriptive as you like and supply links to relevant posts.

There are a number of cursed items in the Covenant (see this post)
The Autumn Covenant of Mistridge don’t really like us (see this post). They attempted to steel our gold too!
There are number of items still left on the Convenant Wishlist
Lady Ella Mildon can recieve visions and makes an excellent start for an adventure. Additionally Ella has some sense of a terrible doom. This could easily apply to the convenant as well. Your ideas are welcome!
Poor old Grom, killed but was going to naturally ressurect but then is transformed with Infernal Magics and killed again. It’s enough to drive anyone potty. Grom could come back but he’d be well pissed, perhaps his infernal body was destroyed in Grok town but Groms real body could be back at the cave? Family or friends of Grom could arrive at the Convenant, upset at Grom missing head and him being mucked around with by demons and demand restitution or help in restoring Grom.
Ruffus is far older than he appears, but how did Traxis manage to achieve this effect?
What happened to the only one of the seven original mages of the covenant Traxis who is still unaccounted for??
How can the two guardians of Traxis old lab be destroyed??
What artifacts and lab texts are contained in Traxis old lab that are of use to the Magi??
Every winter two or three corpse in the graveyard awaken and start to shamble around aimlessly. They has proved completely harmless not even defending themselves if attacked. How are they linked to the lab under the grave yard.
Fitheach na Kia-Sidhe visit to the covenant (NB her fearie might allows her to ignore the covenants aegis).
Mentro and the torch he carries for Losseloth
Accussed diabolist Araq of House Ex-Miscellanea apparently surived whatever befell the old covenant, but not the attack of the Shadow Flame, but who are these people??
The lady Cecile had caught the eye of both Murchad and Antonio, but how will Antonio take the news of their marriage
The Breton Baron le Steel will likewise be angered by the news of the marriage, what revenge will he plot?
The Magi of Mistridge are at it again having raided the mill and claimed the Vis as their own. How did they find out about it??
The magi still owe The Boss in the mine 3 favours
Who sent the statue laden with a mentum trap in 1226

Late during the winter of 1221, while the Magus Murchad was hunting with his companion and load bang was heard by the sentry on the walls of the covenant and smoke was seen to be rising from deep into the forest.

Upon investigation the other magi of the convenent found Brendán unconscious having suffered several blows to the head as well as several rather charred corpses. Brendán was roused but proved to be of little use as he was rather dazed. Roland sought information from another source, the burnt bodies. They revealed they had been dispatched from the Briton embassy in Venice to capture the false king. He revealed the his seniors didnt want to chance the celts uniting under Murchad, who had been claiming to be a descendant of the ArdRí Brian Ború.

With the knowledge that Murchad had been indeed been abducted the Magi gave chase first by boat and then by foot, eventually coming across the Briton encampent. A short battle ensued with the Magi and the grogs easily overcoming the unprepared Britons. With Murchad freed and relatively unharmed he relayed the events that had transpired, he had been ambushed in the forest and knocked out with a few well placed sling shots.

The Magi returned to the covenant with what few prisoners remained to be taken and sent a stern letter to the Briton embassy informing them that it would be wise not to send any further parties.
