Plot Hooks

Locale

The Garrison

A group of soldiers fighting a war have come to town, looking for a place to stay and rest. The problem is, the war they're fighting ended over 100 years ago.

Finley Lighthands isn't convinced the soldiers are ghosts.

Missing Cat. Offering Reward

A local noble has entrusted you to find his poor missing cat, Tabitha. The cat is actually a tabaxi who has run away from her slave owner.

Nicholas Crump needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Sophie Anwen saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

The Fight

A famous pugilist is looking for one last fight.

Amelia Tinkereye is interested in taking up the challenge.

Body Swap

Anyone who gets too close to a mysterious castle that's risen up overnight swaps bodies with whoever is closest to them at the moment.

Badaar Hamid swapped bodies with Giselle Loch and they both kind of like it.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Karen Loch.

Silent as the Grave

You notice there are no birds singing this morning. As you travel, you also notice there are no insects or animals of any kind in this part of the land.

Tiatha Brocksby, a druid, is gravely concerned about the forest along the northern road.

The Storm

A massive storm has been raging for a month. There is no let up, and it appears to stretch across the continent.

Brittany Dunstan seems to think the storm is magical in origin while Libby Colman thinks it's the work of the gods.

The Death Screech

A painful screech went up from a nearby mountain a few days ago. Most think the dragon is dead, but no one is willing to go and investigate.

Laurel Roderick would go, but they have a bum leg, or so they claim.

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

Bernie Thom thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Dinan Pierce is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...
