Plot Hooks

Locale

Invaders within!

Goblins are in the middle of the city! A series of caves have opened up in the sewers and streets and the city is under attack from within!

Lincoln Hamid doesn't believe goblins could have done this on their own. Manuel Whisperwind requests the adventurers helps his family at a local Inn

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Brianna Anwen is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Renee Darwin led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

Undead Friends

Those who have died in the last decade have risen from the graves, most no more than skeletons. They're not evil though, they're looking to pick up their lives right where they left off.

Omar Summer is less than pleased to see their old romantic partner eight years after they died.

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Jerome Pierce is upset they didn't turn into a god.

Refuge from Fire

One morning a few dwarves come walking down from the mountains, seeking refuge in the city. The next day many more arrive. A fire demon has taken residence in their mountain halls.

Rowan Wynne feels those dwarves can find somewhere else to find refuge. Eden Malfoy wants to help the dwarves.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Lar Portman isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

A Creeping Corruption

A ranger has found a spreading disease deep in the forest which is killing all the vegetation and turning the animals mad. The spread will soon reach the outskirts of a local city and the farms that feed it.

Mikael Blackaxe believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Sumesh Joybrook last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

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.

Elias Stonesworn, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Zyra Grail saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

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."

Hassan Orsan says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Gareth Fae is the grandchild of the late wizard.
