Plot Hooks

Locale

The Lesser Evil

There is an evil rising in the region and it is using a terrible magic item. There is only one person who can help. They were the last ones to try to use the artifact for world domination, and they are locked away in a magical prison.

Aria Roberts has spent several decades trapped in the magical prison. Elias Scott refuses to leave the side of the evil character, they do not trust him.

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.

Roger Wood won't look you in the eye. Illian Mattell swears that you just spoke to him, and you looked angry

The New Chef

A new chef has been hired at the tavern. Unfortunately, he hasn't shown up for his first day.

River Clarke saw the chef drinking a bit too much the night before.

Slavers!

You follow the directions to the quest location, only to find yourself surrounded by slavers!

Lincoln Masak assures you this is an easy job.

Under the Lake

A shining light has appeared out in the middle of the lake, under the water...

Sulfras Zaki has said they plan to swim out to the light and see what it is.

Slippery When Icy

Though the temperature has not changed, a thick layer of ice has covered everything within miles.

Nina Crump fell and broke their leg.

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.

Ben Davis believe the treasure is real, while Euphy Payne does not.

Trickster Makes This World

A child has become trapped in a magical snare. Releasing the child proves to be a simple matter, but the consequences are far more dire. The child turns out to be a malevolent trickster spirit, now unleashed upon the local region.

Delia Spall fears the nearby ruins and advises all to stay away. Favian Gale is a child who dreams of adventure.

The Living Ship

A ship has been spotted off the coast which appears to be void of a crew, and able to transform itself to somewhat resemble a shark, it's massive mouth biting into other ships and dragging them under the waves.

Gert Deverin is too afraid to go into the water now.
