The Opening

“A frantic clockmaker pulls you into his workshop, smelling of ozone and copper. It has been stolen, he whispers, the core that keeps the city's grand fountain flowing. He points to a trail of shimmering golden oil leading directly into the sewer grate.”

— Hook · retrieve

Set the Scene

The party is summoned to Barnaby's Gearworks, a cramped shop filled with the rhythmic ticking of a thousand clocks.

Barnaby the Clockmaker

Anxious and jittery, he tries to bribe the party with half-finished gadgets while downplaying the magical nature of the stolen object.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    The town's Grand Fountain has begun weeping golden tears instead of water.
  2. 02
    Barnaby the Clockmaker hasn't slept in three days and is seen wandering the alleys.
  3. 03
    The local rats have grown unusually aggressive and organized lately.
Stakes

If the core is not returned, the town's water supply will run dry, and the 'soul' inside the gem will go insane, potentially detonating with magical force.

Ticking Clock·The golden oil trail is evaporating; if the party rests too long, the trail will disappear, making the sewers much harder to navigate.

Background Lore

The town of Oakhaven relies on a semi-sentient mechanical heart to pump water from deep underground. This heart was crafted decades ago using experimental technomancy.

What the World Knows

A vital mechanical regulator known as the Sun-Core has been stolen by common thieves, threatening the town's water supply.
