Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Wendall Wood swapped bodies with Carys Tathdel and they both kind of like it.

Race Against Time

The Townskeeper has been poisoned. The only cure is made by a strange old wizard who lives a days ride away.

Miriam Terryn is willing to let the party borrow horses.

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.

Eden Jones has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Bernie Fordragon refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Sahin Moongarden's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Vuska Autumn thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Desmond Shad refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Arrival

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

George Pegg has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers

Clocktower

A massive, miles high clocktower has sprung up in the middle of the continent. No one knows what awaits adventurers at the top.

Olivia Crewe was first into the clocktower, but has not come back.

The Talking Birds

Birds have begun talking in common. And they're all rude.

Sawyer Wrynn got into a fist fight with a mouthy raven.

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.

Sapphire Spall has been missing in this region for days.
