The Opening

“The village of Oakhaven is waking up to a bizarre crisis. Nearly every resident has found their left shoe missing, replaced by a single, perfectly carved wooden acorn. The local cobbler, Barnaby, is frantic and begs for your help before the morning market begins.”

— Hook · Investigative Adventure

Set the Scene

Stakes

If the shoes are not returned, the village's reputation as a trading post will crumble, and the dryad might escalate her 'pranks' to include stealing more vital supplies.

Ticking Clock·The Morning Market starts in 4 hours; if the shoes are not found, the visiting merchant caravan will leave Oakhaven out of their trade route.

Background Lore

A century ago, a pact was made between the village and a forest spirit to ensure a bountiful harvest. The villagers have forgotten the tradition of 'the first dance' in the grove, leaving the resident spirit feeling lonely and ignored.

What the World Knows
