The Opening

“Steel yourselves, travelers, for the earth itself has begun to scream. My traps are snapping on nothing but air, yet my hounds are being dragged into the Whispering Sinkhole by armored shadows. Clear that den before the village is next on the menu.”

— Hook · Kill

Set the Scene

The party is approached in the town square of Oakhaven by a limping trapper named Valerius Thorne, who reeks of vinegar and old blood.

Rumours

  1. 01
    The town wells have tasted of copper and bile since the chittering started.

    A local miner named Elara found a black stone just before the creatures emerged.
  3. 03
    The beasts avoid the light of silvered blades but thrive in torchlight.
Stakes

If the hive is not destroyed, the Kruthiks will tunnel under Oakhaven's foundations, causing the entire town to collapse into the sinkhole.

Ticking Clock·Every night at midnight, the hive expands; after three nights, the main well in Oakhaven will collapse.

Background Lore

The Whispering Sinkhole was once a sacred site for the local druids until a mining expedition broke into a sub-strata pocket. They unleashed a localized hive of Kruthiks, insectoid monsters that perceive the world through vibration and heat.

What the World Knows

A group of aggressive burrowing monsters has nested in a nearby sinkhole and started predating on local livestock and lone travelers.
