Advice Wanted: Story Hook for Battlezoo's Eldamon / Monster Part System in PF2


Advice and Rules Questions


Hi there!

So I don't usually post on these forum's and don't know if this is where this goes... (if not, let me know and I'll move it!). Anyway, just like the title says I'm looking for a hook that sounds fun to use both Eldamon and the Monster Parts systems from the Battlezoo Product line in my PF2 Homebrew continent. I plan on having 3 Players and giving them each a free archetype at level 1 along with the required 'Eldamon Trainer' class so that they can fight alongside their Eldamon using a Minion-like trait where if you give 1 Action away to your Eldamon it gives them 2 Actions, and you can give up 2 Actions to give them 3 Actions. Each (The PC and Eldamon) still having it's own reactions. I will be using a mostly Full Variant for Monster Parts (still considering Consumables like Potions).
______________________________
Here are my Hooks so far (these are kept brief so I can tweak them, but want to know a general consensus on what others might find as fun to know where to start prepping):

1. Messenger's of the "Dove Delivery Service" - Deliver important messages to tough to reach people. One of those messages requires your attention. With your connections you are the only one who can really get to the bottom of this.

2. “Sparking” Eldamon - A twisted Eldamon Researcher is testing his experiments on the melding and energies of Eldamon. You were sent by the RedMane Government to stop these threats and this menace as Eldamon with varying traits are effecting the environment and other creatures. His threat begins to spread to an seemingly unstoppable foe who takes ill because of this and goes on a rampage.

3. Open Trade Routes - Battle a number of foes to get trade routes open as permitted by the Government's approval. Meet traders in exchange for Monster Parts. One of the Hold Leaders (dominate monstrous leader of a particular area) has a major problem with this. You have to prep for somewhat of a minor war with that Hold for opening up their territory.

4. Effects of Evolving - A Researcher and her Eldamon are studying the effects of Evolving. Some of the research backfired so it was stopped and bad Eldamon were created from it and disappeared from the lab. They need to be recaptured. As you are capturing more of them, it seems this bad feature is spreading to others. You need to wrangle them all together and stop the spread of the negative trait to other Eldamon!

5. An Adventurer’s Guild Start-Up - Need to prove your team's worth and rank up in the Guild! There are bounty boards and missions posted that your group can decide to go on to try and triumph over other members for fame and glory. Depending on which ones you choose your guild will grow in certain ways.

6. Iced Over! - The usually hot area of the West Peninsula with Coral Reef Mountain sides and Orange Sandy Beaches has gone silent. Reports have come back that the area is suddenly frozen over! You are a part of a rescue team to go in and see if there are any survivors and if there is a cause for this Ice Block! Prep warm gear and get some fire supplies as you’ll need it for your journey! It seems that interesting beasts that aren’t usually in the area have moved in because of the cold!

7. Stranger’s to Starry Lake - You appeared on Starry Lake Island one day and have no recollection of your past like a few others. You are determined to live a new life on Cam and make the best of it with a strange set of skills you have. You were ‘adopted’ into a mysterious underground group who does good deeds for others.

8. Timely Treasure - You come across a Qitophet (Eldamon) who has just become evolved and is being hunted by treasure hunters who was to break apart her body to make into jewelry. These hunters threatened that the next time they come they will have something that can unphase her so that she will be forced to fight. She urges the players to look into it for her for a share of her collected treasure. A few Eldamon nearby want to help out but need to grow stronger. Upon the baddies defeat treasure will be rewarded.

9. A Phasing Problem - People have started Phasing Out (Which is odd in my world because the Trainers and Humanoid Creatures do NOT phase out). You are asked to look into it by the Eldamon Researchers. It leads you to discover and research more and more powerful Eldamon to try and find the solution.

10. A Band of Misfits - All traveling together with a caravan, you arrive in a city that is suddenly in dire trouble. Just escaping with your lives, you are the only witnesses to an event that you know needs immediate attention. You will have to fend to get allies to assist you and convince higher ups that this is indeed a problem while surviving dangers against you at every turn. Then face this major threat.

11. The Chimera Teacher - You find a Lotusnek (Eldamon) who is oddly weak that has an appreciation for a mystical Chimera it’s heard of that could make it into it’s evolved form. It asks your assistance to seek out and bring it there.
