Plot Hooks

Locale

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.

Mercy Wolfbrother barely escaped the dungeon with their life.

Night of the Dog

All the dogs in the area have become murderous.

Sandra Thom was the first one attacked by a pack of dogs.

The Book of Many Stories

A thick tome is found deep in a dungeon. The pages are blank unless only one person is looking at them. Then it appears to tell a story which may have more to do with reality, than fiction.

Sarab Ironroot has heard of the book, and warns that no one should read it.

Cannibals

There's a small town near the edge of the map which is full of humanoids who eat the flesh of other humanoids.

Matteus Barrow is searching for their brother, who went missing near the village.

Civil War

A massive city has taken arms up against one another, the sides naturally bisected by a river which runs through town.

Oliver Carson was forced to kill their brother last night.

The Sage

A friend has come down with a strange illness. It is killing him, and your only lead to a cure is a powerful elven healer who lives deep in the western woods.

Sumesh Massa met with the elven sage last spring at a shrine in the mountains. Conn Norton believes the sickness is a curse and must be broken through action, rather than salves and herbs.

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.

Lacy Frost thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Trixie Quaresh is creeped out by the puppets.

A Fungus Among Us

Odd mushrooms have sprouted up in the forest. And on anyone who touches them. Those infected seem to be acting...strangely.

Joel Beech has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.
