The Opening

“The proprietor of the Ironwood Winery stands trembling on the porch, his hands stained with a dark, sticky residue. Please, he gasps, it was only supposed to be a vintage, but the barrels are screaming. He thrusts a heavy iron key toward you as the cellar doors buckle from within.”

— Hook · Dungeon Crawl/Mystery

Set the Scene

The party stands at the edge of the Ironwood estate where the air smells cloyingly sweet, like overripe fruit and copper. The sun is setting, casting long, bloody shadows across the rows of twisted, blackened grapevines.

Stakes

If the entity isn't stopped, it will expand through the root systems, turning the entire valley into a necrotic mire and killing thousands.

Ticking Clock·Every hour, one of the three trapped workers is fully consumed, increasing the final boss's Hit Points and Damage.

Background Lore

For decades, the Ironwood Winery was mediocre until Barnaby discovered a subterranean node of 'Life-Blood' crystals. He began crushing these crystals into his vats, unaware that the crystals were actually the petrified remains of an ancient earth deity's heart.

What the World Knows

A freak accident in the fermentation process has caused the wine to animate into dangerous oozes that have trapped Barnaby's staff below ground.
