Plot Hooks

Locale

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Kallum Gemtree suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Jeffrey Connington says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Emily Nighy bought the doll as a gift.

The Vanished

On the last day of each month, someone in the city vanishes. It's been going on for almost a decade, but the city is so wealthy and safe that few who live there are concerned, and simply hope they are not the ones that end u missing.

When Yasmeen Connington was a child, their father went missing.

A Blade without Peer

A legendary blacksmith has set up in a nearby village. She has heard that a star of metal fell in the nearby hills, and offers to make a weapon of magnificence for any who bring her the metal.

Charlie Sorra can guide you to the location where the star fell. Illian Bryce noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

The Invisible Elf

After ingesting a strange plant, an elf has turned invisible.

Clementine Hamid thinks the invisible elf has been stealing things from people.

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.

Lena Gale fears they will run out of wood. Dianne Black cannot get out onto the lake to fish.

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.

Madoc Clarke has never seen a creature like this. Valnis Davis used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

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.

Jody Vassan has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Katarina Vonner refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.
