Plot Hooks

Locale

The Reluctant Killer

You hear shouts, and round the corner to find a shirtless elf standing in a practiced combat stance with his blade readied. He is surrounded by local thugs. You should help, but you are unsure who is threatening who.

George Hickory came to this city to find his daughter, but has been spurned by the humans who live in the town.

Hidden Gods

Various normal beings have transformed into gods. Some claim it's magic, some claim they were always gods in hiding.

Mia Leaffall is upset they didn't turn into a god.

All in One Place

The Great Council of Wizards is to meet in the capital. There is a festival coinciding with the meeting and great throngs of people come from far and wide to take part. During the meeting, a massive explosion rocks the great tower where the meeting takes place. Chaos ensues.

Kalak Rowan believes a meeting like this is just a political stunt by the cities elite to show their dominance over the poor. Arish Zaros don't trust magic, never will.

Cats!

Everyone is turning into cats when the moon rises.

Arabella Masak is the only person who is seemingly immune.

Another Time

The whole city has been transported back in time, to an era that predates civilization.

Kamal Jones isn't leaving their home until things are back to normal.

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Kiran Loch says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

The Treasure Map

Someone in town wants to hire adventurers to escort them to a location said to have a lot of treasure, at least based on this old map they found.

Ego Lord believe the treasure is real, while Otto Hickory does not.

One with the Night

You are told to meet a potential quest-giver in a nearby cemetery. Upon arrival, it is clear this person is a vampire...

Reuben Huon warns you that Bernie Clarke, the quest giver, is strange and potentially dangerous.

The Manor

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

Weston Hamlin claims there is a secret room in the basement of the manor.
