Plot Hooks

Locale

An Evil Lurks

A long abandoned fortress to the north has been seen lit up at night by floating blue lights. A foul air permeates the nearby land.

Belor Turner warns that odd fey creatures live in the region. Derrick Shad wouldn't go near the fortress if you paid them.

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?

Jeffrey White was bitten by a mimic.

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 Hasan has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

The Meat Eater

A little girl was found by a friendly circus troupe and brought with them to town. Well, that was the plan. She's the only one who actually made it to town, covered in the blood of the troup.

Alia Enola is sure the little girl ate the circus troupe.

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.

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

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.

Max Enola needs someone to find his lovely cat, he speaks of the beauty of his can. Fribbington Stonesworn saw someone sneaking out of the manor at night and rushing out toward the nearby woods.

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...

Aura Walker warns you that Aubrey Mournhell, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

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.

Cathleen Colman saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Moe Autumn saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

The Buried Fortress

A recent earthquake has uncovered what looks to be a massive fortress that was built underground.

Emily Dunstan thinks the fortress sank, Avery Gale thinks it was built underground.
