Plot Hook 1

Recommended starting level : 13 and up.

A sinister and very crude winter has began ravaging a small duchy and spreading towards other lands and even mighty kingdoms.

Divinations and other spells have proved fruitless to stop the winter itself, which has manifested in the middle of summer, but many Seers have identified the source as coming from the duchy.

PCs hear about this or are in the duchy itself and decide to investigate.

Turns out that the winter is a result from a forest beyond the duchy. Ancient and protected by mysterious fey, an old pact has been broken and a rogue Court of Unseelie have returned to the Material, with their leader attempting to reclaim everything back by freezing the mortals in her realm, seeing them as interlopers.

Why did they come back? How? And how to send her and her legendary fey warriors back to the Unseelie Realms? especially when the fey that protect the forest are not getting reinforcements from the Seelie Court, supposed to answer immediately to such a breach?


Plot Hook 2

Recommended starting level: 11 and up

A zenythri (MM2) inquisitor has recently arrived into the PCs' home town, replacing the deceased previous inquisitor to the Cuthbertine Church.

The fact that a zenythri would be in town as acting church head is odd enough.

The fact that she has a Kolyarut by her side at all times makes it even stranger.

Turns out the zenythri carries with her a box. In it, is trapped a minor slaadi lord, captured by her ancestor generations ago and passed down her family line until a definitive way to get rid of him can be found.

The Kolyarut has held the box in his hands, having his raw LN essence keeping the box and the slaadi inside at bay...

However, a group of local rogues training to become Temple Raiders decide to stupidly rob the Cuthbertine compound when the Kolyarut is being fixed for maintenance.

Unknown to everyone but the zenythri and the inevitable, the slaadi lord can posses any body and eventually take over and awaken his powers. The more chaotic the creature, the faster he will take over and the faster his powers will awaken.

The rogues responsible happen to be in good terms with the party (maybe one of the rogues is a PC) and with the box missing and the slaadi lord hidden deep inside an unwary vessel, the zenythri has sent the Kolyarut in a merciless hunt to catch and slay anyone who may have taken the box and its contents before the entire town is drowned in chaos.
