The Opening

Nyxara Vell, a tabaxi huntress with a score to settle, has marked your party as avian kin and sworn to end the line she blames for her sister's ruin. She knows the roads, the rooftops, and the shortcuts, and she is already closing the distance. Survive the hunt, then decide whether Nyxara must be killed, stopped, or shown the truth before she strikes again.

Set the Scene

Brother Pell rushes into the road, out of breath and clutching a torn feather token. 'You need to move now,' he says. 'Nyxara Vell has mistaken you for avian allies, and she is not asking questions before she draws blood.'

Rumours

d4 · table
  1. 01
    Nyxara never attacks alone, because she always wants witnesses to carry her story.
  2. 02
    The old aviary chapel still has wedding marks carved into the beams, though the roof has collapsed.
  3. 03
    Maro Windglass knows more than he admits and keeps changing which family he claims to have served.
  4. 04
    People say Nyxara can track a dropped feather through three streets of rain.
Stakes

If the party fails, Nyxara will kill avian travelers, worsen anti-avian fear in the region, and potentially force the settlement into open retaliation. If they succeed, they can save lives and end a blood feud before it spreads beyond the road.

Ticking Clock·Nyxara reaches the avian refuge at dusk. If she is not stopped before then, she will strike in public where innocents are gathered.

Background Lore

Nyxara Vell, a tabaxi huntress scarred by family betrayal, has turned her grief into a pattern of escalating attacks on all avian folk she encounters. Her sister married an aarakocra, and in Nyxara's mind that choice destroyed the family, leaving only blame and blood. She now stalks the roads and roosts near the party's route, convinced that any birdfolk traveling together are either accomplices or bait.

What the World Knows

A tabaxi hunter has mistaken the party for allies of the avian folk she blames for her sister's ruin. The party must survive her attacks, uncover why she is hunting them, and decide whether to confront, stop, or redeem her before the feud turns deadly.
