Plot Hooks

Locale

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.

Avery Brightstar has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Yoko Bowes is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Fribbington Sebastian warns of danger on the seas. Kamal Goldtree believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Donovan Ward swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Akasha Darwin wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Max Hamid thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Barty Brightstar is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Sahin Shadepelt's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Eden Masak thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Sawyer Hadwell is thinking of ending it all.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Karen Norman has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Elvira Deakin likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.
