I am starting a 3.5 campaign soon, I'm having the PCs start in a dungeon. they were all captured and magically kept in a comatose type state. They are going to regain their senses and find that the dungeon they are held in is starting to flood due to the massive storm that destroyed the building above ground. I will, however consider the town meeting scenario for the next campaign or maybe as a lead into some other quests in the same campaign. I really found this article useful.

The town meeting takes place just after nightfall in the town square, with a large fire roaring at the gathering's center. Instead of discussing the upcoming fall festival, this emergency meeting has a much more somber and nervous energy. Local hunters and trappers have noticed the lack of wildlife in the Deep Wood over the last few weeks, and scouts say mysterious shadows have been seen creeping about the eerily quite forest. Will these shadows attack the town, and if so how will they defend themselves? All men able to bear arms are requested to help protect the town in it's time of need...

We plan to run more adventure hook articles and will be looking at how to develop hooks that are appropriate for the different tiers. @ Hulkster
