Plot Hooks

Locale

Execution

A crazed murderer has escaped and fled the night before his planned execution.

Sarab Hamlin thinks the man is innocent.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Rowan Elonil thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

Dragon King

An ancient dragon has eaten the rightful King and all of his heirs. He now lives in the throne room and is demanding to be called King.

Doran Carter doesn't really care who the king is.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Bart Rucker, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Duck Dunstan saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

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.

Elana Pierre-Dupois, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Aria Wilbur is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Sumesh Fitzgerald says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

It's a Hog's Life

After a night of drinking and feasting in the town, you awaken to find the town empty of villagers and instead it is filled with hogs

George Deverin says the town worships a respectable goddess of the land, harvest and charity. Julie Shalamayne only allows those who are strictly invited to the feats to participate.

Cats!

Everyone is turning into cats when the moon rises.

Elevrir Reddy is the only person who is seemingly immune.

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.

Melissa Freeman warns that the riders to the west are not to be trusted. Ruby Duval once traded with the western folk, and found them to be reasonable.
