# Quest Hook Generator

I need a batch of quest hooks for a tabletop campaign, ready to hand to a party without more prep work.

The quest type is [QUEST_TYPE:select:rescue or escort,investigation or mystery,retrieval or heist,defend or survive,political intrigue,monster hunt].

The setting is [SETTING:select:fantasy,science fiction,horror,modern or urban fantasy].

The stakes sit at [STAKES:select:local and personal,regional threat,world-ending or epic].

Any extra context worth building around: [CONTEXT?] (a specific NPC, location, or faction already in my campaign)

Generate [COUNT:number:1-8] quest hooks based on my inputs. For each one, give a one-line premise, who gives the quest and why they can't handle it themselves, the central obstacle or complication that keeps it from being simple, and a twist the GM can spring midway through once the party is committed. Match the tone of each obstacle to [STAKES]. A local hook should hinge on a personal favor or grudge, a world-ending hook should hinge on something the whole region will feel. Keep the twists different from each other across the batch so the party can't predict the pattern after the first session.
