Plot Hooks

Locale

Sleep

Everyone in the city has fallen asleep, and no one knows why or how.

Sebastian Pierce talks in their sleep.

Freedom

You are escorting a caravan between cities. Late one night you are on watch, and you hear a noise from the cargo. Investigating the sound you find it is coming from within the cargo. A small voice says: "Free us.".

Don Alard does not know what is in the crates, nor do they want to know.

The Band

A travelling band is looking for help. They sold their souls to a demon in exchange for talent and fame, and now that demon has come to collect.

Rebecca Briggs used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

It Needs to Feed

A panicked farmer shows you to his henhouse. Inside you find a formless blob-like creature with long tendrils. There are no hens, and the creature appears to slowly be gaining in size.

Dmitri Hogan has never seen a creature like this. William Enola used to be an adventurer and remembers a gelatinous cube or ooze being similar

The Mirror

An old mirror is found in the abandoned tower of a wizard. While looking into the mirror, your reflection gives you a grave look and speaks: "I have come to warn you... something is coming and your world is not prepared."

Riley Zantus says this wizard used to be a kind old man, but something changed in him making him paranoid. Robert Shadepelt is the grandchild of the late wizard.

Reparations

Goblins have come to town looking for money and supplies to be donated for their years of suffering at the hands of the townspeople.

Cassie Selentia is on the goblin's side.

Your Past, Your Present

You enter a village and realize it looks exactly the same as the village you grew up in. In fact, you see a child who looks strikingly similar to you playing in the fields.

Mercy Lesley does not recognize you. Jill Altharia does not trust outsiders.

No Entry

The city gates are barred. Strange looking guards of a species you do not recognize prevent your entry.

Sigrid Grail does not recognize the species of those protecting the gates. Katja Poots the gates have been barred like this for no more than a week.

Shrunken

Everyone in town wakes up the size of bugs.

Sarab Underhill is thinking of ending it all.
