Meridan is a fairly wealthy but descreet town hidden in a field beond a mountain pass. Very much like it’s own city-state, it is not at war, nor troubled within itself. Crime is low, but existant, and the royal family there Governs well.
To this town comes a powerful wizard. He aims to subtly but swiftly irradicate the entire town. Fairly secluded, the wizard would have time to steal a hoard of treasure he believes to be hidden under the town (though you don’t know this). A master of illusions, this wizard can hypnotise, take over, and manipulate all sorts of people within the story.
Some of you were hired by the royal family to protect the town.
Others want to protect thier heritage, and others want to make some gold. Perhaps you are an assiassin from another region, or have a private agenda with the wizard.
For whatever reason, you all meet, and your party are now required to track down this devious wizard and put him to peace, before the town is lost.

Remember not every plot has to be city/world shaking. When you can understand the drama of 'small' events you'll be better able to tackle larger themes.

Bit of a cliche but actually not a bad one - can become the basis of an interesting scenario, or even campaign arc, if handled properly
Unfortunately we don't have enough to even start here - this is more of a plot idea than a scenario
Needs a LOT more detail
I give it 2/5 because the idea has potential - it just hasn't been fulfilled here

If you told a painter to paint you a dog, and said painter gave you a white canvas with a few black lines painted on it that vaguely resembled some kind of scene, and then said, "use your imagination", he wouldn't exactly be doing a very good job of painting you a picture, would he?
