Plot Hooks

Locale

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Enzo Mournhell says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Jedrek Moran is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Zealots

A new religion has swept the area, and those who believe are starting to round up and kill those who do not.

Danforth Thom thinks that Devlan Hume is only pretending to be in the religion in order to survive.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Mikael Rowan believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Misha Sams can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Renee Norman thinks the fortress sank, Nigel James thinks it was built underground.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Ivor Portman, Eden Wazels, and Selene Lachlan.

Worms!

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

Mary Jordan likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Elise Belet has never seen a creature like this. Henry Abasi used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Roxy Davis refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Kimberly Roundtree is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

The Garrison

A group of soldiers fighting a war have come to town, looking for a place to stay and rest. The problem is, the war they're fighting ended over 100 years ago.

Ewan Barrow isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.
