Plot Hooks

Locale

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Athol Poots has never seen a creature like this. Luce Altharia used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Hassan Karim is losing their mind, the end has come. Moe Quinn this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Lillian Amal has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Percival Payne has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

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.

Marilyn Knight believes there is a druid who may be able to help. Dael Deakin last saw the druid more than a month before when they purchased potions from the druid.

Seeing Double

Anyone who touches a mysterious rock which fell from the sky separates into two people, one of which is good, the other evil.

Kimberly Lesley is thinking about touching the rock.

Yeti Trouble

Snoe creatures have formed an army and are sweeping across the frozen landscape.

Deilos Wilbur is putting together a group of hunters.

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Mack Walker says that crows are a bad omen. Arabella Clarke hates birds.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Mary Scott is creeped out by the puppets.

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Indra Shadowmourne is letting the man stay at their house.
