The Opening

“Reeve Mara Venn needs trustworthy hands tonight. A sealed satchel was stolen from the shrine at Ashbarrow, and the only trail leads into the old burial mound before the smugglers can move their prize beyond reach.”

Set the Scene

At dusk, Reeve Mara Venn gathers the party beside the shrine and shows them the torn cord where the satchel once hung. Old Tamsin swears she heard voices under the hill, and the villagers are already whispering that the dead have begun to stir.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The ward lantern went dark only after a cart was seen near the hill.
  2. 02
    Someone in the village has been buying extra lamp oil and rope with coin that smells of river mud.
  3. 03
    Old Tamsin insists the barrow stones were moved slightly during the night.
Stakes

If the party fails, the village loses proof against the smugglers and may be blamed for the barrow disturbance. If they succeed, they gain the gratitude of Brindle Ford and uncover a larger criminal route hidden beneath the road.

Ticking Clock·Before dawn, the smugglers will move the satchel and burn the papers inside.

Background Lore

The hamlet of Brindle Ford sits beside an old trade road and a half-silted burial mound called Ashbarrow. Local folk have long left offerings at the barrow stones to keep the dead quiet and the road safe, but last night the ward lanterns went dark and something took the village reeve's sealed evidence satchel from the shrine.

What the World Knows

A village evidence satchel was stolen from the shrine at Ashbarrow. The party must track the thieves into a burial mound, recover the satchel, and return before the smugglers can disappear with the only proof tying them to the road raids.
