Earn Shelter Before the Forest Wardens Return

Read Aloud

Rain taps the plank roofs of Three Axes while every villager watches from behind barred doors. A woman with a wood axe steps into the lane and says, “You have one minute to tell me why the forest has not swallowed you.”

The Scene

NEUTRALCouncil negotiation under immediate threatBase DC 18

Stakes If the party fails, they face the forest without shelter and lose the village's trust while the missing trapper's trail grows cold.

20 to 30 minutes

NPC Goal

Keep the village united until dawn, conceal his role in hiding the ward-stone, and prevent anyone from hunting his missing brother.

Leverage

The party can offer protection, recover Sava safely, prove the ward-stone is not cursed, or expose Councilor Shestak's lie.

Player Approaches
  • Mention the missing trappers without blaming the villagers.
  • Offer a watch rotation and practical help instead of grand promises.
  • Ask to inspect the ward-stone before discussing blame.
  • Use the party's healing, scouting, or wilderness skills as visible proof.
NPC Gambits
  • Request a private word with Councilor Shestak.
  • Ask the crowd who last saw Sava.
  • Trade shelter for one night of guard duty.
  • Challenge the council to show the ward-stone's damage.
  • Promise to bring Sava back alive, not drag him home in chains.
NPC Reactions
  • A sincere offer of guard duty earns one success.
  • Blaming the villagers causes one failure.
  • A successful Perception check notices Shestak guarding an empty iron key-ring.
  • Mentioning Sava by name makes the younger villagers speak up.
  • Threats make Shestak call for the gates to close.
