The magical orb compels those near it to touch and view it, marking them with a tattoo and creating a connection.
Touching the glowing orb burned an archaic, off-center tattoo onto a party member's wrist, creating a connection through which they can draw power from the artifact.
The artifact can recall itself across space instantaneously when called, defying containment attempts.

The angler they killed hatched from an egg that floated in — which means something bigger laid it upstream.

A kobold cleric lost his god, took a stranger's power to keep healing the sick, and still doesn't know whose it is.
A small hill near the water's edge is subtly shifting—and when the party approached, a strange bioluminescent lure appeared that fascinated several party members.
