Plot Hooks

Locale

Sleep

After a comet slams into the ground next to a town, anyone who goes to sleep in that town doesn't wake up. It landed four days ago, and there's very few people left.

Iris Hale's sister is one of those still awake.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

Jarrad Barlow thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

Thirst Trap

No one in town can be sated. Water!

The only person immune is Seymor Donovan.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

River Vinder, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

Loss

An elf named Cameron recently lost his wife in an attack. He needs help seeking revenge.

Hana Kaye is worried Cameron will lose his humanity on a path of vengeance.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Rebecca Cunningham has never seen a creature like this. Aura Autumn used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

Gravy Robbers

A group of bandits have been breaking into taverns and stealing gravy.

Stewert Wright can't blame them, gravy is delicious.

Pirate Court

A fleet of pirates have descended upon the city and are putting a famous pirate captain on trial.

Corinna Potter has gone to each day of the trial.

Unrequited

In the center of the village stands a beautifully carved statue of a woman in full battle armor, a hometown hero. A young adventuring Cleric, obsessed with the famed warrior, casts stone to flesh on the statue in a vain hope to be with her. It works.

Pallav Moongarden has loved the stories of the hero all his life, and just wants her to be real. Avery Arrias thinks the cleric has his head in the clouds. Zayne Pierce says the circumstances around the heroes death were always strange.
