The Opening

“Master Vane is desperate to find his missing workers before the Harvest Festival. He offers 100 gold pieces upfront and double that if the labor force is returned intact. He insists they simply wandered off into the heavy morning mists.”

— Hook · Mystery/Investigation

Set the Scene

The Golden Bough cider smells of summer rain and cinnamon, but the glass in your hand feels strangely heavy. Master Vane stands before you with a trembling smile, offering a sack of gold if you can find his 'stray' harvesters. Outside, the orchard trees sway in the windless air, their leaves whispering in voices that sound hauntingly like human sighs.

Master Silas Vane

Nervous and over-eager, Vane constantly wipes sweat from his brow and avoids looking at the orchard trees directly.

Stakes

If the players fail, the local town will be fed the 'Grand Reserve' cider at the festival, turning the entire population into an orchard of mindless wooden husks.

Ticking Clock·The Harvest Festival begins in 24 hours. The Grand Reserve is already being bottled.

Background Lore

Silas Vane made a deal with a bog hag named Auntie Bramble to save his dying orchard. She provided him with Heart-Graft seeds that grew into trees capable of producing the addictive Dream-Pear cider.

What the World Knows

The workers have likely been kidnapped by a rival cider-maker or scared off by rumors of ghosts in the mist.
