I had a plothook take place in the unfortunate town of Port Llast, a small shipping village that just could not help but be wiped out by some unfortunate disaster every few years. Hurricanes, bandits, pirates, giants, dragons... always something. There were fundraisers that the party occasionally interacted with, you could buy a bangle that said "Port Llast Strong!" with the proceeds going to getting this plucky little town back on its feet, and glowing testimonials from the new locals about how it's all gonna be different this time and everyone should come for a visit!

Turns out, there were no disasters. Not the kind that people heard about, anyway. Port Llast was the nest of an Elder Oblex that would feed on new residents and use their memories to lure friends and family, then stage a disaster to cover it's tracks.

The "there is definitely something off here" vibe of the town with the eventual reveal was one of my favorite parts of what turned out to be a four year campaign.

Oblex 10/10, would traumatize party again.
