#session-notes #planning ## Situation The local crops have been poisoned by goblins. ## Hook What the town folk of [[Hedgehaven]] originally saw as pollution from the river water is something much more serious. It seems that the crops are being deliberately poisoned, but why and by what are unknown. ## Encounters #### *Town time* ###### Rumours + [[Broden]] (next town over) has been afflicted with the same crop blight - {Was told it was evacuated} ✅ + Chattering in the woods at night ✅ + The baron [[Baron Bryce Talent of Mountainview]] is syphilitic and a philanderer. ✅ + The farmers have a secret society that control the price of hedge spice (lavender, rosemary, oregano, basil) to keep Hedgehaven on the map + [[Syl'Dareth]] remained neutral in the war because they were selling masterwork arms to both sides ✅ + [[Bernard Fairheight the Bard|Bernard]] has been known to magically flavour water to pass as ale ✅ + [[Bochoke Steelview]] is in serious need of help; he's starting to get too old to lift the hammer, but is too stubborn to admit it + [[Stellan Quickfoot]] has a secret vault of wondrous items hidden somewhere in his shop. #### *Blighted Crops and Woodland Discovery* Just outside the village, [[John Anderson, Farmer|John Anderson's]] crop has started to be affected by what seems to be the same blight outside the fungal cave. There are what look to be footprints in among the farmers that lead into the forest. A ways inside there is a ramshackle sled, built from sticks and bones lashed together, loaded with a bucket of dubious liquid. A trail of disturbed foliage leads deeper into the wood. The trail is hidden, though not well. #### *Treetop Ambush* Twig blights, attack the PCs from the trees. 2 with Thorn Whip as well. ```encounter-table party: S1 name: Treetop Ambush creatures: - 6:Twig Blight - 2:Twig Blight, 8, 15, 2, 30 rollHP: true ``` #### *Goblin Camp* What was once a mining camp has been overrun by goblins, who have left the ground filthy and diseased. Each Goblin is carrying [[Kleitus' Call]]. ```encounter-table party: S1 creatures: - 4: Goblin - Wolf rollHP: true name: Goblin camp ``` ## Session Notes Fights the bear Borogrove sees them the next morning, gives them the staff They overhear rumours at the sleepy watery wench Broden has been evacuated Grutok questions Bochoke about Broden Decide to go to Broden Overhear that a farmer's crops are corrupted Investigate and find the crops have been poisonned Follow trail to goblin cart Fight twig blights (which was a neat arial battle with pull attacks) Tortured the goblins Used the [[Staff of Flowers]] to repopulate [[John Anderson, Farmer|John Anderson's]] lavender farm
