Plot Hooks

Locale

From the Clouds

A large gray cloud rolls across the land, and terrifying flying creatures descend from within, and snatch up people and carry them back up to the cloud, never to be seen again.

Penelope Lachlan's brother was taken off.

Zoo Troubles!

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

Rose Kastrix saw one of the creatures run into the woods.

The Last Message

A body is found with a note clutched in its hand. The party feels as though the note should be delivered to the dead man's wife.

Maz Bladefist is the only person who can decipher the code written hastily at the bottom of the note.

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...

Bashara Moran warns of danger on the seas. Conn Duffield believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

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.

Paddy Cunningham is thinking about trying to raise the money needed.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Jordan Silvermoon believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Bella Hillard's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Luna Rucker warns you that Lionheart Briggs, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

The Fugitive

An old man is said to be a war criminal in the last great war and has been hiding out and posing as the innkeep for the last fifty years. Now people are closing in, and he doesn't know what he should do.

Don Weston thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.
