Plot Hooks

Locale

Left for Dead

A man was attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. Now he's looking for help when it comes to getting revenge.

Brienna Banes is letting the man stay at their house.

The Resort

A mountain tourist town is empty. It was just filled to capacity the night before.

The only person in the town is Hailee Hamid and they don't remember a thing.

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Sumesh Deakin warns you that Daniel Cunningham, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

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.

River Kusheth thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

Mimic Mania

A dungeon is filled with nothing but mimics. That chest is a mimic, that torch is a mimic, the dungeons itself? Naaaah, couldn't be, right?

Morwen Shad was bitten by a mimic.

The Heartless

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Gawen Abbey heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

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.

Emily Grail has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Lariat Pegg claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

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.

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

The Haunted Bay

Ghosts are said to haunt a bay that was once home to a busy port. Some say the ghosts are from a sunken ship that crashed 100 years ago.

Riley Underhill thinks that the ghosts aren't real, and someone is playing a trick on the community.
