Plot Hooks

Locale

Goblin Tower

A local wizard is requesting assistance. He is embarrassed to admit he lost control of his nearby wizard tower to a tribe of goblins and it is only a matter of time until they accidentally tear a hole in reality.

Taylor Quaresh has always felt the wizard was dangerous, and this just proves he is also dumb. Kirsten Enola claims to have seen glowing lights coming from the tower the previous night.

The Heist

The rebels of a Kingdom ruled by a tyrant King has tasked you with stealing his prized Ioun Stone. They have arranged an invite to the King's annual Winter Ball. The rest is up to you.

Alondra Frogsong refuses to allow the King's rule to continue. Nikolas Walker offers to pay you to infiltrate the rebels and find their base.

Major Crimes

The dwarves of the southern hills have cut off all trade and closed their gates to any outsider without strict permission to enter. Someone has been shaving off their beards in the night, and they have asked your party to investigate.

Illian Terryn refuses to meet face to face with you, but rather wears a veil. Lilith Carter is so angry he flies off the handle at any mention of beards.

The Siren's Call

You booked passage on a ship. Midway through the voyage, you awaken to find only you and your companions on board. The ship is anchored beside a small island and a Siren's song fills the air...

Kiernan Brocksby warns of danger on the seas. Roxy Duskfur believes she met a creature of the sea with an entrancing singing voice.

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.

Ashley Shad thinks the village should close their doors to any and all refugees.

Invaders!

A race of warriors, not known to these lands, has landed on the shores of the kingdom and displaced several villages and farms. They are not just raiders, and have already begun to establish settlement.

Jakob Wynne watched the invaders burn a village. Dianne Mervor wants revenge and is gathering a host to attack the invaders.

Behind the Villain

A dark lord who has been waging war against the kingdom for years turns out to be a fake. The real villain is a weakling human with a grudge.

Eve Lucas swears they always knew something was up.

Slime

A large mound of slime is making its way through the dungeon, eating everything in its path.

Liliana Crump barely escaped the dungeon with their life.

Puppets

A puppeteer has lost control of his puppets. He didn't even know they were alive.

Hanks Vinder is creeped out by the puppets.
