Plot Hooks

Locale

Water, water, everywhere

People are getting sick. The river water turned sour the week before. Someone needs to explore up the river way to find the problem.

Isabella Reece claims a druid is meant to protect the northern forest and riverway. Dora Sybil has fallen deathly ill from drinking the tainted water.

The Door

You are awoken in the middle of the night by the Innkeeper. He is pale and shaking. He leads you to a large metal door in the basement. He swears on his life that this door was not there yesterday.

Talwyn Enola has owned the inn for years and lived here all his life. He has never seen this door.

Seven Heads of Fury

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

Karen Terryn is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

Goblin Town

A town of peaceful goblin's needs help to protect themselves from humans intent on killing them all.

Hamad Kastrix doesn't believe the goblins are peaceful. Lola Dustclaw does, and is trying to stop the others from attacking.

Arachnophobia

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

Jared Norman says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

Ghost Jail

The constable needs help figuring out why all of the prisoners he locks up die in the middle of the night. And why they all seem to be there still the next morning.

Taylor Hickory thinks the constable is a lot less innocent in the matter than he appears to be.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Lincoln Bladefist thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

The Swarm

A massive swarm of insects is moving from town to town, eating everything, and everyone, they can find.

Petra Barlow is horribly afraid of insects.

Horde of the Mountain King

You find a map at the bottom of a chest. It is written in Dwarvish and, if read, identifies a treasure horde hidden high in the mountains

Hector Mattell thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Esmeralda Gleeson is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...
