Stakes

If the creature isn't killed, it will grow too large to remove and will eventually collapse the building, leading to a localized plague from the waste it emits.

Ticking Clock·The acidic bile of the creature is eating through the wooden support beams of the shop. Every 30 minutes of in-game time, the party hears an ominous creak.

Background Lore

The village of Oakhaven was built atop an older, crumbling infrastructure. Many shops have cellars that connect to ancient, forgotten drainage pipes that now serve as a breeding ground for urban monsters.

What the World Knows

A stray predator from the woods has snuck into the cellar through a hole in the foundation and is currently eating Barnaby's winter meat supplies.
