Plot Hooks

Locale

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Dina Brown fears they will run out of wood. Dinan Kastrix cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

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.

Avery Loch says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Leo Pierce is thinking of ending it all.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Richard Monroe swears they always knew something was up.

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.

Robert Reece thinks everyone should just leave the old guy alone.

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Rey Sybil is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Black Sky

All of the stars have vanished.

Kathryn Enola is determined to find out what happened. Lena Connington thinks creatures from space ate the stars.

Maniac Maze

More than one adventuring group has been lost in a nearby dungeon.

Bella Walker managed to return from the dungeon, and swears that the walls shift and move.

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...
