Plot Hooks

Locale

Cats!

Everyone is turning into cats when the moon rises.

Riley Travis is the only person who is seemingly immune.

Night of the Dog

All the dogs in the area have become murderous.

Fribbington Everett was the first one attacked by a pack of dogs.

Allez Cuisine

A great beast has set itself outside the town you are in. It demands to be fed the most delicious food or it will east the townsfolk instead. You must prepare an elaborate five course meal using local ingredients.

Hawke Marshall has tried to cook everything they could think of but the beast will not be satisfied. Sarab Mervor is prepared to attack the beast if need be, but is willing to wait until you make an attempt.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Stuart Korsk mistrusts the new guards.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Lillian Miller watched the invaders burn a village. Kyle Colman wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

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.

Miriam Ashbringer can guide you to the location where the star fell. Honey Stonestorm noticed more goblins and orcs in the hills nearby to the fallen star.

Hairless

The sky turned purple for a short moment, and everyone in town has suddenly lost their hair.

Cain Hogan thinks they look better bald.

Carrots

Some folks in town swear they've been attacked by carrots.

Jenny Elonil says they survived an attack by biting the carrots back.

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.

Sarab Portman refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Mia Laroque is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.
