Plot hooks

[TerakasTaranath]

I'm DMing a very lose form campaign in Faerun where the players are the driving agents.

So no big damn quests or anything like that, they want the traditional adventurer vibe. That being said what are some plot hooks I could throw their way we have 2 lvl 3's and 2 lvl 1's(some played more.)

They're also near Waterdeep, the PCs are lvl 3 Eldritch Knight, lvl 3 Ancestral Guardian, lvl 1's are Death Cleric and Paladin (and a bard when he shows up but that's almost never)

[Unoriginal]

A bandit leader is trying to take control of all the local bandit groups, turning their threat level up to 11.

A Manticore find the PCs and offer treasure if they can teach the Manticore how to be an adventurer.

An Hill Giant shows up, demanding to be given the magic item he claims a local Mayor promised him for his work.

Nobody has seen the Warlock Tulbo for two weeks, and explosions have been heard coming from his old tower...

The famous tielfing swordswoman Nacer searches people to accompany her in an adventure. The mission: find a lost merchant caravane before a young green dragon does.


A village organizes a celebration for their founder's feats of bravery, but it turns out this year's guest of honor is a Devil, and openly so.

One of the players has a military background? If so send them a message his old commanding officer is en route with his daughter and child....who looks amazingly like the player's character.....

Let them get kidnapped, have it be a false accusation, make them evil incarnate. Whatever the PC's seem the moat worried about.

This works really well actually because the bard in the group rolled up nemesis and got a tiefling fighter so this could be great for a plot twisty moment. I also love your other ideas especially the hill giant one bc this takes place in the aftermath of Storm Kings Thunder which they've played so, a hill giant roaming around fits right in.
