Plot Hooks

Locale

A Town of Ghosts

A nearby town has gone dark. When investigated, it turns out everyone in the town is dead, but their spirits are trapped there.

Sophie Wanderhill was the first to die. Carys Kastrix is the one who killed them.

The Sinkhole

More than one farm has been swallowed up by a sinkhole in the area. Someone needs to find out what is going on.

It's believed by Sumesh The Fierce that giant worms are to blame.

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.

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

Arachnophobia

Spiders are crawling up from below the city! The citizens are panicked.

Michael Weston says "Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?"

Slime

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

Riley Blackve barely escaped the dungeon with their life.

Domestication or Slavery?

A group of wood elves have come into town during the night and freed all of the animals from captivity, refusing to return them. The townsfolk are prepared to go to war over this.

Morwen Whisperwind will not free their animals, their survival relies on it.

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.

Olivier Terryn has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

Ambushed from Within

One of the wagons you are escorting suspiciously loses a wheel in the middle of a forest road. The other guards whisper to one another and ready their weapons.

The caravan master was convinced to hire these guards in the previous town. Marilyn Spall mistrusts the new guards.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Salvatore Carrion warns of danger on the seas. Finley Shad believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.
