Adventure Hook
Last night, Sella found a small leather pouch hidden beneath one of the guest room beds.
Inside was a silver key, a bloodstained note, and a name she wishes she'd never read.
Now she doesn't know who to trust.
💡 DM Tip: Not every memorable NPC needs to be a hero, villain, or king. Sometimes the most beloved characters are the ordinary people your players want to protect.
❓ DMs and Players: Would your party trust Sella immediately, or would they assume she's secretly working for the villain?
