Plot Hooks

Locale

A King's Favor

An archery contest is being held in the capital. The reward is a reasonable favour from the King.

Rowan Davis is a renowned archer and the expected winner of the. Parker Blight can't wait for the festival markets to open.

Silence

Everyone who gets within fifty feet of a tree that seems to be burning, but never burns away loses their voice forever.

Karen Ashbringer went to the tree as a child and hasn't spoken since.

Reflections

You make camp in an ancient elven ruin, and while exploring you find a great mirror that has been shattered. When you gaze into each piece of the mirror, you see yourself, and a shadow lurking behind.

The figure in the mirror gestures to you, begging for release.

Avalanche

An avalanche is moving swiftly down the mountain and will be here in moments.

Pallav Anwen is sure everyone will die.

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Adrian Mervor is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Clementine Watson has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Ralph Masak claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Cynthia Fordragon does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Erica Ferrier the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Charlie Huon is thinking of ending it all.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Olivia Hickory saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Jelen Timber saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.
