Taking inspiration from the original mini-hooks thread by hengest , I decided to start my own thread for mini hooks here. 1. Strange lights have appeared in the nearby hills outside the city for one hour on the last 3 nights. 2. The cat population on the city streets has been noticeably higher in the last week. 3. The local crypt has been violated but all evidence points to something breaking out instead of in. |

4. A local group of youths have returned from a hunt with an abnormally large egg.
5. Graffiti from a long dead cult has appeared overnight on a local temple or church.
6. A local youth known for exaggeration has returned to town frightened and babbling on about an army of monsters passing in the woods.

Note: From this point on, this thread will have ONE hook per post because the hooks are often unrelated to each and it's easier when responding, quoting, etc.

26. As the local population awakes and begins its' day, the citizens find an Ogre asleep by the local well or in the middle of town square. The bar closed at 3am and the Inn does not have any beds that will support an 8 feet tall 570 pound ogre and besides it was too late to draw him a bath first. |

While doing research in the local archives, a local scholar has discovered information on the remnants of a lost civilization that was rumored to possess magical knowledge that has not only been lost in the modern age but is more powerful than the current spell knowledge.

29. During the last week the statues in the town square have been in different spots each morning. It was believed to be the result of some local pranksters until this morning. The statues were not only in different spots in the town square but in different poses.
