Plot Hooks

Locale

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Aela Hickory is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Parker Massa led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Marilyn Mournhell claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

Zoo Troubles!

A travelling zoo has lost a few of their animals. It's up to you to find them!

Ben Greene saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

Night Life

Girls are going missing after visiting a popular tavern at night.

Valeria Simpson wants the tavern closed down until the girls are found.

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Katya Mervor is losing their mind, the end has come. Roxy Enola this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Keeley Bryce says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

Wild Wind

The wind lately is so severe it's almost impossible to walk in.

Amira Wilbur blew away yesterday.

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?

Adrian Ironbolt was bitten by a mimic.

Everlasting Life

A mysterious stranger is willing to sell a potion that he says grants everlasting life, for the low low price of 1,000 gp.

Talia Michaels is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.
