Plot Hooks

Locale

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Chandra Deakin claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

Hot Lava

A nearby volcano has erupted.

Giselle Autumn knew they should have moved.

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Don Sams says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

Another Time

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

Skylar Orsan isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Brienna Hillard refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Mila Ward is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

Tax Time

A caravan of tax collectors from the nearby city was attacked and robbed on its way to town.

Bernie Everett seems happy that the tax collectors lost everything.

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Clio Weston warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Jericho AnaanShan wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

Through the Fade

Whenever you sleep, you dream of being watched by an impossible creature with many eyes, torturing you for answers. After the latest dream you awaken with physical marks of your torture on your body.

Stuart James cannot identify where the wounds come from. Vidar Knight suggests you speak to the local seer.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Elias Shad hasn't cried in years until now.
