Plot Hooks

Locale

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

Stella Bladefist thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Bundringo Halgar is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Fribbington Mowbry likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

The Doll

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

Rolf Gale bought the doll as a gift.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Reeve Poots warns of danger on the seas. Frances Ironfist believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Morwen Ali thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

Land Shark

Sharks. With legs. Need we say more?

Melissa Amal thinks a mad mage has created these abominations.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Valnis Deadeye, Skylar Northrend, and Oliver Pierce.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Olivia Larchwood refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Morwen Bradley offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

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.

Taylor Deadeye fears they will run out of wood. Landon White cannot get out onto the lake to fish.
