The Haunting of Calrow Ruins: Character Hooks
You can use any of the following hooks to get the characters involved with Calrow Ruins.
Grim Treasure Hunters
Following legends of either the grim tapestry or the onyx ring, the characters have traced one or both of these infamous treasures to Calrow Ruins. They may be seeking these items for their own power, as elements in an ongoing campaign, or as part of a mission to destroy corrupting magical artifacts.
Noble’s Behest
One of the two nobles approaches the party, asking them to reclaim the keep in their name. Parties with a reputation for heroism are approached by Lady Nydaridien, while more mercenary parties are approached by Lord Polding. What each of these nobles can offer to entice the characters is outlined under their NPC descriptions.
Return to the Keep
One or more of the characters may have survived the quake and the ensuing gibberling massacre that resulted from Arista de Freh’s betrayal. Haunted by the horrors they witnessed, the characters take it as a matter of personal honor to vanquish the gibberlings that caused so many they once called friends.
