Plot Hooks

Locale

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.

Bernie Wynne swapped bodies with Hayden Shadowmourne and they both kind of like it.

The Manor

People have been vanishing in the woods nearby. There is only a rundown manor in the area.

Nayeli Lucas claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.

The New Jester

A funnyman was recently hired by a prince. Bad news is the funnyman turned out to be an evil funnyman, and he's killed the prince and gone on the run.

Kallum Summer used to date the jester.

Sadness

Everyone in town can't stop crying.

Sawyer Mervor hasn't cried in years until now.

The Unicorn

You are awoken from your rest while at camp to the sound of a horse. As you follow the sound you see the truth: it is a rare unicorn and it is injured.

Sisco Selwyn believes a magical creature lives in the woods nearby. Indra Todd's dream is to see a unicorn in person.

The Helm of Slaughter

You find a beautifully crafted helmet. You put it on and after a few moments you hear a voice, "Yes... let the slaughter begin...". You are unable to remove the helmet.

Jevon Briggs suggests you don't wear the helmet until you have it inspected by a wizard. Elliot Kaye says a wizard will just try to take it, might as well wear it.

The Usurper

A man has attempted to kill the king, failed, and then made a daring escape from the castle. It's likely he's going to try again.

Cloee Roderick saw Aptal Bloodhoof speaking with the man in the days leading to the attack.

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.

Nelson Watson was the first to die. Sahin Mournhell is the one who killed them.

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.

Kashida Jordan that bag of holding is ancient, must be one of the earliest of its kind,
