>On their travels, the party comes across a masterwork sword

return it you numbnut

>>49925092
Return the sword, and ask the guy how he lost so many swords that he started to have this inscribed on them.

>>49925092

Return to the king, nab sweet king reward while building connections with a king. This is obviously a plot hook, but the king sounds like a pretty cool guy if he was wandering around with a magic sword earlier.

>>49925175
>>49925130
Wow, I can't believe you guys would fall into the trap of a lich looking to bait adventurers to him to kill and create powerful undead from this easily. You didn't even ask if you recognised the name.

>>49925231
Just as good of a plot hook as the other thing. I'm into it.

>>49925231
You can't just go around assuming everything's an evil lich, anon.

>>49925175
>>49925230
>The king, a feeble old man with a haunched back and a beard that reaches the floor, mumbles a dry, rhaspy 'what?' in response
>The prince shouts loudly into his ear that the party is returning one of his swords
>The King asks 'which sword'
>The Prince responds 'the sword that you lost, then ordered the blacksmith to recreate'
>The King, still confused, asks if he didn't lose that one as well
>The Prince answers that he did, and then ordered the Blacksmith to create more replicas, this time with his name upon each of them
>Still confused, the King rewards the party by letting them keep the sword, as he has 'mountains of the blasted things'. In fact, he lets all the party members have their own masterwork sword replica.
>The Prince travels elsewhere after sorting out the sword situation, and one of the party's less-scrupulous members attempts to return one of their copies to the King, and exchange it again for more sword copies

>>49925340
You say that now, but what will you do when Dr. Bones the lich and pun enthusiast turns out to be an evil lich? It'll rattle you!

>>49925388
A good rattling is needed every so often, I say.

>>49925382
Repeat the sword returning process for nearly limitless metal to sell as raw materials back to the blacksmith.

>>49925582
>The blacksmith eagerly buys the swords, as the demand for runed masterwork swords within the kingdom has inexplicably exploded.
>However, the blacksmith must be constantly reminded of who the party is and what they intend to do with all those swords, as his memory is as bad as the king's.

>>49925582
>>49925636
>Party healbot starts to get sick of this shit and tries to drag everyone on various quests where they can acquire what they need to fix the memories of the king and blacksmith.
>Can't get the party to leave the area long enough to make any progress.

>>49925668
>After days of being trapped in dementia kingdom, the party manages to succesfully investigate and track down the cause of the mysterious curse
>That is, they complete the investigation in a day, before they forget and are made to do it all over again
>The trail leads them to a wizard in a mysterious tower overlooking the kingdom, who freely admits to cursing the kingdom with forgetfulness
>When asked by the party why he did such a ting, the wizard scratches his chin and replies that he doesn't remember

>>49925710
Kill him!

>>49925735
>The party rogue, being the quickest, strikes the wizard first, and stabs him through the heart
>The wizard can only utter 'But why?' with his dying breath

>>49925747
>I can't remember..

>>49925812
>When will this curse be lifted?!?!

>>49925855
>What curse?

>>49925870
>Does anyone know why we have all these swords?

>In the ensuing confusion, one of the party members winds up wandering back to the castle, sword in hand, believing he is the true king of Estermark
>Good king Aegerhad mutters a dejected 'that makes sense', and then surrenders the throne with some breathy grunting and the popping of arthritic joints

>>49925870
And so the Kingdom of Dementia gains a new citizen

>>49925914
Like I'd know that?!

>>49925990
Dear god! Somebody murdered the wizard!

>>49926017
>What's a wizard?

>>49926041
who're you?

>>49925340
It's the only way to be sure.

>>49925957
>The cycle continues.
>The Demented King of Estermark is replaced once more.

>>49926232
>>49926206
Eventually, a lich rolls around and becomes the new King of Estermark

>>49926253
Due to the curse of forgetfulness, he forgets his nefarious plot, and instead spends his time losing swords and commissioning more from the blacksmith.

What are some other plot hooks for a party to stumble across in Dementia Kingdom?

This is a turnip.

It's really tough, so you need to cook it a long time, but they last over a year if stored correctly, and are nutritious, so they were an important staple before pasteurization, refrigeration, and long distance transport of fresh produce.

>>49927224
Anon, I'm pretty much certain that's some kind of demon head Idol.

>>49927224
OOOOH, so THAT's a turnip!?

The old castle is full of them. Most of them are walking though.

>>49927243
It's like that anon said: a carrot.

>>49927243
Turnips were the original jack-o-lanterns, from before the new world fruit that is the gourd, squash, pumpkin, etc. was introduced to the people who participated in Samhain.

And that's a turnip Jack-o-lantern.

Turnips look like this when they aren't carved. They are related to cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, etc.
