Plot Hooks

Locale

The Bloodening

A scream shatters the silence of the early morning. A woman stands beside town's well, horror-stricken, as blood drips from the water pail in her hands. There is a crack of thunder and the heavy clouds above release their deluge. The town's streets run red with blood.

Bashara Ironlatch is losing their mind, the end has come. Julia Bowes this must be punishment for allowing that warlock to practice his dark arts in town.

Into the Unknown

You are being chased through the dungeon by a horde of monsters. You come to a final room with no exits but for one swirling red portal which leads to lands unknown.

Shangela Norton, your guide, does not wish to enter any unknown portals.

Seven Heads of Fury

A hydra is constantly attacking the boats trying to make for port, just off the coast.

Tami Huon is willing to pay 500 gp to anyone who slays the beast.

The Haunted Wagon

A ghostly wagon travels through town each night.

Maz Kastrix seems to be interested on boarding the wagon next time they see it.

A Most Inconvenient Murder

You are on a ship crossing the sea. On board is your party, a nobleman and his wife, a known rake, a beautiful young debutante, the ship's captain, a well known adventurer and a famous detective. One morning, the nobleman is murdered and you were the last one to see him alive.

Liara Alhara swears they saw you with the nobleman last night. Kimberly Abasi wishes to call everyone together to find the killer.

Tourney Troubles

You are participating in the grand melee, the pinnacle competition during the Summer Tournament. In the midst of the combat, shouts ring out from the crowd. The tournament grounds are under attack!

Mica Deadeye, a local lord, and his knights were not invited to the tournament. Matteus Kaye is a guard captain who partakes a bit heavily in drinking.

The Secret Cave

The party is flagged down by a boy who is soaking wet. He leads the party to a nearby pond and dives under with them, leading everyone to an underground cave. The boy says his friend was taken while they were exploring.

The cave wall has three names carved into it. Monty Cruise, Heidi Black, and Alam Mur.

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!

Zyra Enola doesn't believe goblins could have done this on their own. Celina Broadbent requests the adventurers helps his family at a local Inn

The Kraken

A kraken has been attacking the town. The problem is, this is a farming town, hundreds of miles from the nearest coast.

Moe Dustclaw thinks the kraken can teleport.
