Plot Hooks

Locale

Imposters

You arrive back at the local inn, but the look on the Innkeeper's face when you walk in the front door sets you back. "But... you all just went upstairs to rest, mere moments ago", he says shakily.

Riley Brocksby won't look you in the eye. Ben Diamondtree swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

Zombie Trouble

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

Marilyn Wood thinks the gods are punishing everyone for their sins.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.

Jonas Bladefist has no idea who you are or what you are talking about. Weyland Zaki has seen that man before, wearing that sword.

Practical Research

A famous adventure writer wishes to be brought on a quest with your party. You are to show her the ropes and keep her safe. Her publisher is not happy about it.

Sisco Kaye, the writer's agent, threatens you with legal action if any harm comes to the writer. Max Mur is the writer's #1 fan and offers to pay for the expedition if you let them come along.

The Stranger

The door to the tavern opens, and an old companion from years before enters. You are shocked, as you watched them die.

The companion does not remember you.

One More Day

Ghosts of the dead start walking the streets of the city, not hurting anyone, just going about their business. At the rising sun, they all walk back to the crypt.

Laura Ashig saw his mother last night, she came to check on him but she died the winter before. Kasandra Hickory saw a woman, not a ghost, walking the streets with the ghosts chanting to herself.

They Come at Night

A roving band of creatures no one has ever seen before attacks towns and villages at night, killing all those within.

Jax Greenflower thinks a militia should be formed to protect their hometown.

The Arrival

While resting under an ancient standing stone, you feel a sudden rumbling, and a spark of light. After it passes there is a bipedal being lying unconscious at the base of the stone wearing strange clothing. She is unconscious.

Sumesh Korsk has always believed the ancient way stones are more than just travel markers

Into the Corn

A cornfield at a nearby farm lets people in, but does not let them out.

Riley Donovan's brother went into the corn last week, and hasn't been seen since.
