Plot Hooks

Locale

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Preston Roderick is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Linda Smyth is thinking of ending it all.

Crossroads

While travelling, you pass a crossroad with a small cemetery. A few hours later, you pass by the same crossroads, although you have not changed your direction.

Oisin Ali tells you not to go down that road. Charlie Malfoy smiles slightly too wide when talking to you.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Valnis Hasan has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

Reiko Miller heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Elana Cruise went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

Big Cows

Something has happened to a herd of cows and they've grown to giant level over night. The problem is, they're destroying the farms in the area.

Sisco Schmidt barely escaped a giant cow stampede with their life.

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Cole Ferrier thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Clio Pierce swapped bodies with Esmeralda Dawnpelt and they both kind of like it.

An Unlucky Number

A company of twelve warriors is searching for a thirteenth. It turns out you have been nominated.

One of the twelve, named Teresa Todd, seems to make many significant glances at Cassius Roderick.
