Plot Hooks

Locale

The Cloud

A massive gray stormcloud has appeared in the sky. Everyone's mood seems negatively affected by the cloud, and it's leading to trouble.

Roger Jayid hasn't stopped crying in a week.

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Hayden Mervor talks in their sleep.

The Shop

A traveling salesman claims he can get anything for anyone. For a price. He's set up shop just outside of town.

Keeley Quaresh is wondering if the salesman can get his hands on a magical necklace.

The Living Ship

A ship has been spotted off the coast which appears to be void of a crew, and able to transform itself to somewhat resemble a shark, it's massive mouth biting into other ships and dragging them under the waves.

River Alard is too afraid to go into the water now.

A Matter of Great Import

You have been tasked by a local council of halflings to solve a dispute before the different tribes go to war with one another. There was no clear winner in this year's brewing and weed growing competition, and it is up to you, as unbiased outsiders, to judge the competition.

Cassius Turner invites you for tea, and speaks to you about how talented her son is at brewing and offers you a taste of his latest batch. Edmond Smyth offers to escort you around the village so that you might avoid the unsavoury areas which happen to be the breweries not run by his cousin.

The Swarm

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

Lena White is horribly afraid of insects.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Theodora Nozzlenuck believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Sasha Masak can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Missing Mentor

You are to meet an old mentor from your past at an old ruin in the wilds. You arrive early and wait for them. You know them to be punctual, always. They never arrive.

Avery Brown has never reached out to you like this, you fear their concerns are grave.

The Missing Kid

A boy has vanished. They know where he is, he's invisible.

George Watson thinks the boy has been cursed.
