Plot Hooks

Locale

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Yusef Black's sister is one of those still awake.

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Fribbington Beech was the first to die. Sazi Loch is the one who killed them.

Worms!

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

Shay Ashbringer likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Avery Sams, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Sisco Sebastian is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Aric Freeman was forced to kill their brother last night.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Ashley Hawkwing is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

Blinded

Half the population is blind suddenly.

Charlie Monroe is thankful they can still see.

Anger

Everyone in town is JUST SO FREAKING MAD

Avital Davis is totally the most mad.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Elana Truthseeker thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.
