Egg-related plot hooks

Nope. Kill the source.
It's the only way.

>eating chicken jizz covered eggs

>the PCs find themselves in possession of a large egg
>egg is resistant to all attempts to open it, but is clearly organic
>vaguely magical
>after a few days, all those with magical abilities start receiving visions of where to take the egg
Will they take the egg to where it needs to be? Or will they try and suffer through it?

Our party leader has this weird egg. Wonder if it means anything?

Rolled 1 (1d12)

1. A dragon egg turns up at the local mage's academy with a note saying 'TEACH IT MAGIC OR BE INCINERATED'

2. A giant monstrous wasp is stinging villager's brains to turn them into docile pets, then laying eggs in them

3. Having read a certain spellbook, hundreds of magic-user's brains are actually slowly crystallizing into eggs for dangerous beings of raw magic

4. A soul-sucking lich has found a way to capture and consume the small vessel of particles a living creature's spirit becomes before it is transported to heaven. She calls it a gge.

5. A thinking giant is posed the old "chicken and egg" question and plots to destroy civilization and sent the universe hurtling back through time to find out for himself.

6. One of the PCs is delivered a mysterious egg with a love letter, apologizing for cutting and running but saying the other party knows the PC will bring the child up right.

7. A mountain range turns out to be the shell fragments of a single enormous egg. An excavation team discovers a similar intact egg underneath.

8. The caviar harvested from the salmon of knowledge will instantly answer one question of anyone who eats it.

9. All dragon eggs have been hatching degenerate mindless reptile monsters for the last 500 years. True dragons are dying out.

10. A torrent of random street fires sparks concern that what was thought to just be a very hot summer may be a phoenix egg buried under the city.

11. Anything organic the egg touches is absorbed by it, and every time it happens it grows larger and changes colour. Nobody knows what it is going to hatch.

12. A disgraced cleric has figured out how to reincarnate the souls of an enemy into a specific egg, and plans to assassinate his foes and then trap them in an eternal cycle of torment.

>The PCs' families have been turned into a single chicken egg. Breaking it kills them all.

>number 2
>implying /d/ would need to be stung first
>implying that isn't my fetish

All i can say is that i won't be pleasant

Nothin much probably. What colour is it?

It seems to be grey.

Deep red. Maybe crimson

tell Me more about gestation magic inside a creatures egg and the pissibility of making a scrambled 'circle of death' omelette

>in order to save a maiden's life, the brave white knight must journey to obtain the world's finest eggs

I meant the half developes embryos but yeah sure. It's not like we eat the shell or anything.

In order to maintain his gains, the party barbarian must consume over 30 eggs a day.

He has already depleted the local supply, and must find a new solution.

Egg spellcasting is you write your spell on the egg in a particular way and the egg absorbs it. Whatever is inside the egg (it has to be a fertilized egg) dies and the spell is changed by its death. So it naturally plays into breeding magical creatures with egg swaps, because different creatures produce different effects.

It can get very complex (you can learn to use more than one egg) and the best places to study it are certain central monasteries of the church of universal flame, where monks end up with enough time on their hands to just do some gardening and invent heredity.

...and by monk I guess I should clarify I do mean the guy(s) on the left, but also a bit of everything else here.

I think this would be an interesting thing to do to a paladin or cleric

Humanity isn't even a race. We're all eggs.
And for the first time,
one of us hatched.

There is an egg laying chickens out in the countryside. The court wizard has asked you to retrieve it for his menagerie, and also to look into it's origin and maybe stop it happening again, because while fascinating it's also bloody disturbing and put him right off his breakfast.

Magical beasts all across the kingdom have been seen hatching from eggs, but nobody has ever seen one laid or even fertilisation. Where are these eggs even coming from?

A holy order of minks is passing through town, though they appear misshapen. Asking around reveals they are well known, and odd in appearance because they host large eggs under their skin of their Patron's personal creation, divine spiders. The monks ask the party cleric if they wish to have eggs implanted.

So what Im getting here is you gave your players a mysterious egg or some shit... and now you want us to do your homework for you.

curious, what would happen if a egg of say, a red dragon was used as a component and had the spell, " Summon steed" would the dragon come out with a rudimentary understanding of writing and understanding of commands, or with the Dragon come out as a Celestial horse?

followup. what would happen with the Egg if instead it was inbued with the pure elemental essence of a say, black dragon?

would I get hybrid dragons?

if so, pdf pls.

riding, not writing. I dictates this to my phone without checking if it did weird shit

Just straight up that episode of Futurama with the bone-vampire.

kek
anyone else get this reference?

So I don't play an edition of D&D with "Summon Steed" (that said, not like I have every spell and combo figured out anyway) and you can't, or at least it's strict doctrine you can't, do egg magic with dragon eggs. The church of the universal flame HATES dragons.

But the thing in the egg dies. So the second dragon thing would probably be horrible, because you'd be summoning a dragon via magic created by killing a dragon fetus and burning its essence to change your spell. As to the first, I'm not sure what I would decide on - it seems like you can already summon an intelligent dragon with that spell, but maybe that's fine because sometimes egg magic is just like a spellbook anyway.

I should mention you cast the spell by cracking the egg, because I haven't yet.

>The king has gone to war with another kingdom because they open their eggs the wrong way

They sound like magical grenades.

All the eggs in the land turn out to be solid calcium, even the ones brought in outside the kingdom.

Deaso you're saying I can birth dragons in the blood of their kin and imbue what is born from it with the festering essence of stillborn draconis?

...

Bump for your wit.

Oh, that's good. Had me worried there for a minute.

I dunno, I'd rather not try, or else the yolk would probably be on me

>Party decides to help the Bard out in exchange for information regarding the big ongoing over-plot of he campaign
>After great amount of effort, they do the unthinkable: The actually manage to get a Black Dragon's egg!
>Bard is very happy, cooks the egg up, eats it, even offers some to the party
>Bard gives the party the info and then puts on a decisive stance looking out to the horizon, noting as the Party is leaving:
>"1 down, 9 to go!" And with that, continues his quest to eat one of EACH eggs of dragons

An eccentric collector is willing to pay incredible prices for monster eggs. He will not pay for damaged eggs or ones he already has.

>return the foul orb to the hot steamy moist pit from whence it came

CoC. An odd egg is found in a creepy mansion. The story writes itself.

Works for both CoCs.

>an enormous troll blocks the bridge before you
>"IF YOU WANT CROSS, YOU GOTSA RIDDLE!"
>the bard steps forward
>"WHICH FIRST?! CHIKUN, OR EGG?!"
>the bard sits down for what he anticipates to be a very long and painfully slow discussion

good quintuple

Sigh... obligatory.

Shut up

A thousand Adventurer Eggs have hatched in the capitol.

This riddle always pisses me off. It has a simple answer.

The Egg of Gallus gallus domesticus came before the first true Gallus gallus domesticus. This is because the direct ancestor of the Chicken had to lay the egg that would eventually become the chicken.

>Party finds an egg after defeating a dragon.

>It's not a dragon egg though, it's a cockatrice egg

Anybody else read the into the darkness books?

Its like world war 2 but fantasy. Soldiers use "sticks" that shoot lasers from crystals
Eggs are basically bombs/shells that are hurled from the back of behemoths(tanks) or dropped by dragons(aircraft).
People were routinely sacrificed to create more magic stuff as souls or something were the cheapest way to make eggs

It was fantastic, shame it wasnt more popular.

>character starts with red egg as a trinket
>nobody realizes it's the behelit until later in the campaign when shit starts getting berserkverse in brutality

I actually murdered someone in cold blood for wearing a similar piece of jewelry in a game.

Really fucked things up. Especially because it wasn't anything more than a shiny rock.

Villain's powers are fueled by eggs, party recommended to interfere with local egg market before confronting

Oh god, this gave me a horrible idea for a "Trojan Egg" using wizardry

>Take egg
>Make it big
>Carefully cut a hatch into it
>Move party inside the egg, close hatch
>Shrink egg and party
>Have someone put the egg into a delivery to the Villain's chambers where he likes to eat raw eggs
>Unshrink the party (this breaks the fragile egg) and beat the villain

Alternatively
>Villain likes to eat boiled eggs
>Take the head off of a flail
>Shrink Item
>Using a carefully placed tiny hole, drop the flail head into the egg
>Patch the tiny hole, or leave it if it's tiny enough
>Deliver egg
>Wait for villain to eat boiled egg with in-noticeably tiny flail head inside
>Utter the command word to un-shrink it in his digestive system

"Kakyoin did you lay this egg?"

Eggs are fucking weird, if you think about them.

>Someone egged the Archmage's tower, infuriating him.
>Someone towered the Fury's archmage, egging him.
>Someone infuriated the Tower's egg, archmaging him.

Pry tell, if you had to make a single-use womb that can survive outside of the mothers body, how would you go about it?

>if you had to make a single-use womb that can survive outside of the mothers body
That's precicely what makes eggs weird to me.
Even weirder is the fact that eggs evolved before animals developed the capacity to develop their young inside their bodies.

It isn't that strange, if you think about it from a different angle.

Egg:
>Create tiny organism
>Provide said organism with the nutrients it needs to grow into a functional being
>Done

Womb:
>Create tiny organism as part of the bigger organism
>Continue to maintain tiny organism as a part of the bigger whole, syncing the immune and digestive systems of the two organisms
>Do so in a way that does not hinder the survival ability of the bigger organism too greatly for it to get a literal Darwin Award
>Separate the two organisms without causing the death of either.

Womb birth is actually a lot more complicated

Good point.

Do the visions tell them all to take it to the same location or all different places?

>Dear diary
>Yesterday, I bought five dozen quail eggs, fertilised
>Today, I wrote explosive runes on all of them
>Tomorrow, we leave at dawn for the gnoll camp
>I hope these noise-cancelling spells are worth what I paid for them

Why does Lena Dunham always find it necessary to disrobe?

...

I am both surprised and disappointed that there hasn't been any magical realm stuff itt so far

What would that even be?
Wizard starts necromantic experiments to crossbreed chickens and other creatures, to create an animal that can lay massive eggs, only for his "elixir of egg-laying" to fall into a town well?

You asked for it

Unbirthing and then rebirthing via oviposition.

...

He's working his way up to 48 eggs, in order to help him get large. He end goal is 60 eggs daily, and to be roughly the size of a barge.

>bread-related plot hooks

Town's bread has been cursed to cause lethargy, leaving the town's populace loafing around. Mayor asks you to find the wizard and utterly destroy him... for the pun, not for the curse.

Sounds pretty half-baked.

A house sized cosmic egg has been found. Everyone is fighting of the possesion of it. Who will be the ones to hatch it and reap the possible rewards?

>Game with over 10 players
>Plot hook to introduce the self-insert Main villain of the GM depended on a "totally not favoured player" manipulating half the party against the other

I know youre reading this, were you delusional dude?

more magical realm plz

that's a big loaf

for you

A large mythic looking egg is requiring an escort. The pay is good, but most is on delivery of he egg unharmed.

The egg is actually fake and full of money. A lot of money. Your PCs are helping to complete a major drug deal.
