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.

Sumesh Simpson has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Alia Reddy is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Angie Shadowmourne saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Teyr Haggard thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Miriam Michaels refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Bashara Rana saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Balur Moonstone saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

Snakes on a Plain

The plain has become overrun with snakes.

River Scott hasn't been seen for days.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Monica Oaktree swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Buried Fortress

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

Finley Alma thinks the fortress sank, Doran Lord thinks it was built underground.

Queen Crazy Pants

The Queen has gone insane, and bathes in the blood of attractive people in an effort to keep herself youthful.

Maggie Fallenoak is a little peeved the Queen hasn't attempted to take them yet.

The Riders Come

Your party has been travelling for days through unknown territory. Someone spots a large host of riders off in the distance. The riders change direction and begin to ride directly at you.

Taylor Echols warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Ian Boone once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.
