Plot Hooks

Locale

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Jelen Moonblossom has a fear of giants.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Storm Schmidt saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Heidi Belet saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Tunnels

The Queen snuck out of the castle in the dead of night. She was seen entering a nearby mine, and has been lost among the maze like tunnels. It's up to a party of adventurers to find her.

Brienna Pegg thinks the Queen may be under hypnosis.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Hanks Abasi isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

The Weird Relic

You reach into your bag of holding and draw out an unfamiliar relic. It is a small doll-like figure, carved from bone. "Help me..." it cries, and small beads of water begin to drip from its carved eyes.

Lincoln Wazels that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,

False Idol

For generations, the people of this valley have given an offering to a local deity on a hill, and a good harvest and prosperity have followed. Recently, the locals erected a monument at the place of offering. Since then, their crops have begun to fail.

Eliot Emberfoot believes the offerings of food were wasteful, and that the monument is a more permanent showing of their devotion. Blake Bryce fears the monument was a mistake, and now a larger show of devotion is necessary.

The Double

Everyone saw the King die on the battlefield, and yet he just gave the victory speech a day later.

Corinna Malfoy is wondering if it's magic, or just an actor.

Under Siege

A letter arrives from a nearby lesser noble. Their fort is under siege from an unknown enemy force attacking from the nearby forest. They request aid from such renowned adventurers.

Lachlan Terryn believes this attack happened because the fort is right on the edge of a magical forest. Timo Arrias can guide you to your destination for a fee.

The Murder

A large murder of crows descends upon the city you are in. They watch you as you walk through the streets.

Vivian James says that crows are a bad omen. Alexis Ironbolt hates birds.
