Water shimmers sweetly in this deep, forest pool. But there are bones around the edges, and the stench of death. Is there a monster nearby, or is this beautiful pool something more sinister, entirely?
Adventure Seeds
- A local huntsman has returned to town severely injured, insisting he was attacked by an owl griffon. When you arrive at its lair, you discover that it’s half-starved due to the hunters taking more than their share, and is desperate to feed its dying babies food. But the hunter’s refuse to hunt less, as times are hard, and they don’t want to see their own families starve.
- A sorceress has cast the illusion of water, which she now uses to lure in unsuspecting peasants in the woods, who she then kills and sacrifices to a dark god. She came to the local village as a healer, and was instead spurned by them for their superstitious ways—and now she is exacting vengeance. But after she takes a young child, the villagers plead your party to save him and kill the foul witch. When you arrive, the child is alive and well, and she is packing up her things. She will take him on as an apprentice, and teach him her ways—but she doesn’t want any witnesses.
- The water has become toxic, and has since been killing all the animals who drink it. The deaths at the site has caused a monster to move in for free food—and it’s right on the trade-route to a large city. While it wasn’t a problem before, it’s grown large—and powerful—and begun hunting living prey, such as merchant caravans. This beast must be stopped, and the city guards are willing to pay a good price if you do.
