Plot Hooks

Locale

Heat Wave

A wall of flame a mile high and thirty miles long is spreading through the forest, destroying everything in its path.

Gwen Kovak thinks the wall of flame began near a wizard's tower home.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Owen Korsk needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Arabella Zaros saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

Where is Your Rider?

A riderless horse, with tack and saddle, approaches you and will not leave you alone. When you climb onto its back, it gallops to the west.

Manuel Gale has been missing in this region for days.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Parker Quinn swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Sadie Duffield wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Enemy of my Enemy

A warning cry echoes across the fields surrounding the village, looking toward the forest's edge you see a large band of orcs come charging out. Drawing your weapons, you realize the orcs are not attacking, they are fleeing from something else.

Alam Marshall believes the orcs are dangerous and should not be allowed into the town. Rowan Bergel believes working with the orcs is best for all involved

A Persistent Chill

As spring arrives in the valley, the winter thaw never occurs. The river stays frozen and a chill wind blows in from the mountain pass in the north.

Jaden Windrunner fears they will run out of wood. Qualen Joybrook cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

The Lesser Evil

There is an evil rising in the region and it is using a terrible magic item. There is only one person who can help. They were the last ones to try to use the artifact for world domination, and they are locked away in a magical prison.

Bedelia Mur has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Amaya Morningstar refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.

The Great Tree

There is a magical tree which grows in the forest that has been targeted by drow.

The drow wish to remove the tree in an effort to weaken the beings who live in the forest. Lacey Carter needs help stopping them.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.
