Plot Hooks

Locale

Double-Cross

You are hired by a well-to-do merchant to protect his warehouse. Suddenly the warehouse is swarming with guards and you are arrested for stealing the very artifact you were hired to protect.

Lilith Sebastian believes this easy money. Gavin Loch has a bad feeling about this.

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.

Helen Mervor swapped bodies with Joseph Alhara and they both kind of like it.

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.

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

The Tome of Unspeakable Evil

An archaeological expedition unearths an ancient book. Within a week, all in the expedition are killed and the lead archaeologist kidnapped.

Parker Ferrier is an expert in old elven lore, and funded the project. Ben Vonner led the expedition to their location but returned home straight away.

The New Husband

A woman has learned her new husband is actually a ghost. He's not willing to get a divorce.

Kallum Simpson is the one who realized the guy was dead.

Worms!

After the torrential rains lately, thousands, if not millions, of earthworms are overrunning town.

Brogan Marshall likes to fish, so they're not stressed about the worms.

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.

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

The Possessed

A coven of witches has seemingly called forth demons from the underworld to possess innocents in a nearby town.

It's said the witches want to kill Eden Hickory.

Lambs to the Slaughter

An entire company of heroes was sent to deal with a rising evil to the east. Only one returns: she is blind and half-mad.

Sigrid Enola is scared for her brother, who was the scout of the party of heroes.
