Plot Hooks

Locale

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Zoe Ironbane was bitten by a mimic.

The Menu

A tavern has become quite well known for having delicious food. Problem is, the food is made up of humanoids.

Charlie Weston bit into their meatloaf and pulled out a ring.

Buried Alive!

You awaken to the sound of a bell tolling. You are laying down in the dark, surrounded by stone. Understanding is quickly follow by panic as you have been entombed alive.

Enzo Duval, the priest in this town, never warmed to you while you were in town. Bundringo Ellis doesn't trust the priest.

The Cheater

The townskeeper's wife has been seen out and about with another man. This is a problem, because the townskeeper is a crazy person.

Cyntia Michaels thinks everyone needs to not say a thing to the townskeeper.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Jerome Pierce has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Sumesh Sybil thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Virginia Wazels says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Katherine Boone was a child, their father went missing.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Frances Roberts has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

The Hole

There's a hole in the middle of the forest that seems to move around at night. It's never in the same place twice, but sometimes there's music and voices coming out of it.

Cain Wright knows a man who went into the hole and never came out.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Kyle Miller fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Selena White is a child who dreams of adventure.
