Plot Hooks

Locale

Zombie Trouble

A horde of undead are making their way for town. Nothing has been able to stand in their way.

Rolf Michaels thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

Invaders within!

Goblins are in the middle of the city! A series of caves have opened up in the sewers and streets and the city is under attack from within!

George Mervor doesn't believe goblins could have done this on their own. Bruce Ward requests the adventurers helps his family at a local Inn

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.

Simone Broadbent has one of the mushrooms growing on their forehead.

The Child

The king calls you to an audience. A young tiefling child is with him. He asks you to escort this child to a city far away, to ask no questions, and travel quietly and with haste. The trip is paid for, and you are offered a kingly sum as a reward. The King seems nervous.

Charlie Shalamayne, an innkeeper, won't allow a tiefling under his roof. Selene Anwen saw unsavoury characters skulking about asking after a tiefling child.

The Buried Giant

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Blake Hickory has a fear of giants.

The Flood

A flood has covered hundreds of miles, leaving nothing but a small village that was built upon the top of a great hill. Settlers from flooded towns are seeking refuge, but there's not enough supplies to go around, and some refugees and plotting to take over.

George Crump thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

The Experiment

While investigating a missing person you come across an abandoned lab. To your dismay, you find notes and diagrams making reference to you.

River Pierce heard screams coming from that part of the sewers at night. Jacques Summer went missing last week, their mother is worried sick.

The Lone Elf

An elf named Raven is the lone survivor of an attack by a goblin horde. Someone needs to convince her she shouldn't stay alone in the forest.

Arabella Bane says Raven is standoffish and rude.

Land Pirates

A group of pirates have created massive ships on wheels and prown the plains looking for victims and loot.

Dmitri Selwyn is constructing their own land boat.
