Campaign hook: Fire in the Night

A red dragon goes on a rampage

Components

Goals

Stop the dragon from attacking. Save people. Find out why the dragon attacked.

Hooks

• The dragon is roaring but not speaking draconic. It's just growls and snarling.
• Someone is seen watching from a nearby house, smiling.

Stakes

People are getting hurt or killed—the loss of the town itself.

Moral Quandaries

Is the dragon being controlled? Hurt? Should you just kill it or find out why it's attacking?

Cruel Tricks

The Mayor stole the dragon's eggs and was willing to let the town burn while he ran off and let adventurers handle it.

Some overconfident dragon hunters. (A ploy by the mayor. They're meant to die to spur on actual hunters.)

The dragon, Herresna.
