Unfinished Plot Threads

Lydia:

• More RedCairn secrets from the past.
• Exploration of other covenants in an attempt to refound the Order.
• Finding an apprentice.

• Return to Venice and deal with its underworld (maybe).

• Return to Venice and deal with its underworld -- revenge.
• Become the master of the Deadfire weapons.

• Continue to attempt to regain his Gift.
• Anything to do with books and forbidden lore.
• Deal with the Venice aristocracy which rejected him.

Bill:

• needs an heir, of all kinds. Someone to run the shop, someone to be his apprentice. This is gonna take a search, of at least the astrological charts...
• has an interesting future regarding Wives if his horoscope is correct... and he's not on a longevity potion for nine more years...
• wants to become a Quaesitor in the Order... unless the Terginium is all that's left, in which case he'll stay far away from *that* hell. It's just the best way for him to meddle in the affairs of wizards...

• wants to clear his reputation of being a coward (should be impossible, as it's a Driving Goal) throughout the area through some feats.
• wants to earn his way back into the Hospitallers' good graces through some feat (perhaps a service for them? Go crazy, Mike-- and remember his Dark Secret...)
• wants revenge and his hospice back from whomever took it-- the Count and the Deacon di Serra. You know, regain the birthright type stuff. He wants the Deacon destroyed and the lands he runs as his own to be run as the Church's again. He wants his uncle to recognize him as his nephew again, and wants the secret that the Ferali attacked the Church to be revealed so the Count's sin can be confessed. He doesn't want to kill his uncle, just humble him. For the good of his soul. Oh, yeah, and for personal satisfaction. But also for the good of his soul. Why are you looking at me so disapprovingly, Bishop?

  The third one's hard-- since he can't accuse his uncle or reveal the secret himself, due to an oath. Not to mention the fact that the Deacon's a powerful man...

• has plans for Maria as her 'heir' and seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, but that can wait...

Rob:

• Tracking down all sorts of unusual critters and weeds
• Defeating his mysterious enemies
• Finding the vis to make Maggie's longevity potion (or kissing enough Conciliar butt to get it donated)
• Talking to Tariq's dragon friend

• Taking care of her husband and son (since they need all the help they can get)
• Making that scum-sucker Cain pay
• Founding a hospice to heal the poor and the sick (which, if she ever forgives him for helping out Cain, she might suggest to Giovanni)
• Getting caught up in her dead parents' diabolic affairs once again

• Having a baby prior to Alanus's quaffing of the potion (Mike, you rule on this, but my little lovebirds have been trying since Autumn 1326)

• Having fun
• Learning to make the sounds everyone else makes so they can understand what a good boy Bisclavret really is
• Starting his serious Hero training with Hassan, Brock, and Dietrich
• Getting caught up in local Faery politics
• Keeping a suspicious eye aimed in Sieta's and Maria's direction
• GOING THRU PUBERTY (boy, with that Disgusting Habits flaw, this could get really interesting--Bis, meet the Count's daught . . . Bis, get off of her, right now!!!! Bis, get off of Cain, too!!!!!)
• Getting involved in his biological father's life again

• Keeping all of the above loonies safe and sound
• Helping young master learn to wield a sword
• Watching out for the return of his enemies--the family of his former lord, the rapist he killed before he met Alanus
• Protecting womankind
