Plot Hooks

Locale

Ale Troubles

The local barkeep needs his monthly shipment of ale, but the brewer is too scared to bring it because of reports of a nearby dragon.

Nina Sams says they saw the dragon just yesterday.

Brewfest

The brew fest has arrived! But the caravan carrying the brew has not, and it has now been a week overdue.

Doran Wilton ordered the brews from the nearby city weeks ago. Roger Hillard is prepared to cancel the breakfast if the brews are not found.

The Runes

A new ancient dungeon has been discovered, and the walls are covered in carved runes from a dead language no one can speak or read. At least, until a small boy in a nearby town begins scratching the same runes into his own home.

Finley Kaye is afraid of the boy, and wonders if the right thing to do is to simply eliminate him.

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.

Dottie Brown used to be in the band, but left because they refused to sign the deal.

The New Husband

A woman has learned her new husband is actually a ghost. He's not willing to get a divorce.

Cora Selentia is the one who realized the guy was dead.

The Elves have Gone

You arrive at the gates of an ancient elven city. The gates of the city are unbarred, and the streets empty. The city has been abandoned.

Christopher Mazdul has been to this city before and found the elves to be very welcoming.

Under the Sea

The citizens of a coastal town have been cursed by a witch. Now they've all turned into merfolk, and are forced to leave their homes to live in the ocean.

Adrian Azkhar thinks the witch is going to ransack the town once everyone has been forced to abandon it.

The Big Wave

A tsunami is quickly approaching the coast. It will hit landfall within the hour!

Jill Beech thinks everyone should try to evacuate.

Night of the Tornadoes

Tornado after tornado pummels the city at night.

Bella Forgeclaw believes the tornados are the work of a wizard.
