The Opening

Old Man Vidalia says the onions at Bloomin' Onion Farms are wilting weeks ahead of schedule, and strange glittering residue has appeared in the soil. He wants you to inspect the fields, trace the problem to its source, and save what remains of the winter harvest before the next rain spreads the sickness.

— Hook · investigation

Set the Scene

The party arrives beneath a low gray sky. Bloomin' Onion Farms should be bright with green leaves, but several fields are yellowing in irregular circles. Old Man Vidalia waits beside a handcart of wilted onions, holding a clump of dirt that sparkles like ground glass.

Old Man Vidalia

Old Man Vidalia approaches the party at the edge of the farm, visibly tired and carrying a basket of spoiled onions. He recognizes Valeri Anne and asks her to bring trusted help immediately.

Stakes

If the party fails, Bloomin' Onion Farms loses most of its winter crop, local food prices rise, and the underground corruption spreads through the irrigation network. If they succeed, the farm survives, but the crystal and its origins create new questions.

Ticking Clock·The next heavy rain arrives within two days. Rainwater will carry the residue through the irrigation network and make the blight much harder to contain.

Background Lore

Bloomin' Onion Farms sits above an old irrigation tunnel built around a buried fragment of strange crystal. For generations, the crystal remained dormant beneath the fields, but recent flooding cracked the tunnel and exposed it to the roots. The fragment now leaches a silvery-black residue into the soil, weakening plants while attracting vermin and fungal growth.

What the World Knows

Bloomin' Onion Farms is suffering from an early and unusually localized crop failure. Old Man Vidalia has found a strange substance in the soil and fears the remaining onions will not last until winter. The party must investigate the fields, learn what is causing the blight, and protect the farm's harvest.
