Plot Hooks

Locale

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Avery Stonesworn thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

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.

Alondra Frogsong has never seen a creature like this. Zie Spike used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Lost Treasure

A long forgotten treasure has become hot news again, when a map that supposedly leads to the treasure is found.

Kamal Fitzgerald is intent on finding the treasure first.

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

Rolf Quinn thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make it rich. Sazi Lord is concerned about what else might be guarding the horde...

Civil War

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

Nalgar Ghani was forced to kill their brother last night.

It's About Time

Hlf the population in town seem to be aging backward.

Doran Lonerock swears they've grown a foot shorter in the past two years.

The Spread

A disease has been slowly spreading throughout the city. It appears to be undetected by Detect Poison or Disease. Half-Orcs are not affected by the disease.

Hiram Autumn thinks the orc tribes must have done this. Talwyn Stormrage refuses to let you leave the city, to prevent any spread.

The Doll

A living doll has been blamed for multiple murders that have taken place in town.

Alam Fae bought the doll as a gift.

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.

Eden Ghani, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.
