Create an adventure hook in 5 words or less.

Pretty much as the title says. Can you create an adventure hook for your (or someone else's) games in 5 words or less?

To get you started here are some examples.
- The stone pillars are talking.
- People disappear at noon.
- Who is stealing clocks?
- This is not a hill...

But the throne/crown was fake

Selling - Sentient magic sword: defective
(kind of cheating on this one) But the Ringbearers were deceived
The underground machines rumbled, awakening

It was the wizard

I didn't do it.

The mirrors lie.

- The dragon wants a deal
- You cannot remove your helmet
- A skeleton searching for skin

The dale wants a dragon
Your helmet cannot remove you
Skin searching for a skeleton

- Read it with these glasses
- You didn't add water, right?

Let's see what this does

Don't you owe them money?
Take this and hide it
You don't know me, but
Did you press that button?

Oh, you little joker you...

Alright, a few more...
- What's on the floating island?
- When in doubt, NINJA ATTACK!

How do we get home?
This linked chuf won't come off

Doors don't bite, right?

But we buried you yesterday.

🎶 It's the Dungeon that never Ends...🎶

• When all gods became dogs
• When all dogs became gods
"In the name of the Goodest Boy, who art in Heaven, Arooo be his Name..."

Someone stole our loot
Revenge is a vicious cycle
The consequences of our actions
One technobabble later, plot device
Time loop! Fix our mistakes
Get caught up in conspiracies
Snap, the blood ritual worked
Oh no, the demons saw us
Demons are chiller than expected
Never mind, lost our souls
We serve the demons now
Leading hell's army, what do
Are we the baddies?
Hey, who's summoning us!
Plot twist, we summoned ourselves
Something something stable time loop

Heirs allege king is demented

Bain sidhe looking for love

I actually once got spam claiming to be from the Nigerian government, who wanted to give me money to make up for all the scams their royalty had gotten up to. I just had to jump through a few small hoops.

I gave myself a gigglefit because the 'this story goes poorly' intro fits and I just realized it. But most of my players would by savvy enough to immediately decline a quest that involved the words:

"See what had happened was..."

Shouldn't have drunk that potion.
Shouldn't have gotten that tattoo.
Shouldn't have made that bet.
