Keep the Water Share Fair

Read Aloud

Rainwater runs in a fresh trench beside the road. A painted survey post lies split across the mud, while villagers argue around the dry public cistern. Someone has moved the boundary marker, and the village reeve wants an answer before sunset.

The Scene

NEUTRALInvestigation and mediationBase DC 13

Stakes A family may lose its field, and the village may lose its only shared water source before the next rain.

30 to 45 minutes

NPC Goal

Reeve Odran wants the marker blamed on Sumaq's family so he can seize their field and hide his forged tax entry.

Leverage

The party can compare the broken marker, fresh trench, tax-roll numbers, and villagers' water allotments.

Player Approaches
  • Offer protection while Sumaq tells the truth.
  • Read the old survey marks aloud and expose the false boundary.
  • Promise a fair division of the cistern until the next survey.
  • Ask the miller to show who bought the missing survey cord.
NPC Gambits
  • Question one witness in private.
  • Inspect the trench and broken post.
  • Reconstruct the boundary from the old military map.
  • Make the reeve state the water allotments publicly.
  • Propose a temporary water schedule.
NPC Reactions
  • A calm inspection earns one success and makes Odran stop shouting.
  • Mentioning the old map makes Odran demand proof instead of witnesses.
  • Threats make Sumaq retreat behind the cistern wall.
  • Offering a temporary water schedule brings the miller and shepherds into the discussion.
  • Catching Odran in a contradiction shifts the clock one step toward success.
