Plot Hooks

Locale

The Actor

A travelling acting troupe has come to town. They are doing a mystery play, which seems to come true the very night the perform it.

Kasim Truthseeker thinks the lead actor, an elf named Garson, may be killing people.

Slime

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

Gia Selwyn barely escaped the dungeon with their life.

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.

Tiatha Duffield swapped bodies with Stephanie Fordragon and they both kind of like it.

What Lurks in the Fog?

The village is quick to welcome you to their food and fire. In the evening, a dense fog rolls in and surrounds the village. The villagers begin to don armour and weapons, and you hear the unearthly shriek echoes out of the fog.

Renee Payne believes the fog creatures to be the dead, having risen from the barrow lands to the east. Rowan Crewe apologizes for tricking you, but explains that they desperately need your help.

The Constable

The local constable has locked himself, and hostages, in the city jail.

Riley Enola thinks the constable is having a psychotic break.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Karakta Weatherby says Raven is standoffish and rude.

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

Paddy Everett thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Hailee Portman is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

The Painting

An old woman has died, and townsfolk are cleaning out her home when they find a strange and grotesque painting of a thin man covered in a black veil. The veil was removed, but the painting is stuck on the wall. That same night, someone was murdered.

Jaden Autumn saw a thin man fleeing the scene of the crime.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Karth Diamondtree used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.
