Roleplaying adventure hooks

 
Looking for inspiration for your next roleplaying adventure? Then look no further! We’ve put together these three adventure hooks to give you some ideas for your next gaming session. Enjoy!
 
 
The masquerade
 
You are invited to a masquerade ball at the palace. However, halfway through the night, many of the guests transform into the creatures they were masquerading as.
 
Synopsis
 
Whilst at a masquerade ball, a large percentage of the guests transform into what they were masquerading as. Your group will first need to keep everyone safe (including those that have transformed) and then look into how this happened. The evidence suggests that the masks of the transfigured guests all came from a single store.
 
 
Going underground
 
The vermin that normally resides in the city’s sewers is coming to the surface and terrorising the inhabitants. It must be stopped!
 
Synopsis
 
Across the city there are a number of incidents of creatures from the sewers coming to the surface and causing havoc. The party will need to subdue these ‘attacks’ and try and prevent any more. But why is it suddenly happening now? Could something even more sinister and horrifying have moved in to the city’s sewers? There’s only one way to find out.
 
 
Nobody robs an adventurer!
 
A member of your party placed a very large down payment with a local armorer. When they came to collect the armor, the smith was gone.
 
Synopsis
 
A local armorer has disappeared without trace and worst of all, one of the party had just made a very large down payment to him. You’ll need to investigate the premises to gather any clues and then broaden the search. Has some tragedy befallen the honest merchant or has he made off with your gold to start a new life?
