Summary:
We were requested to meet Geraldine, a goblin from Greenside Farmstead, in the market, but she didn’t show. We headed to Greenside, where the local guard informed us she had gone missing from her farmstead south of town. Local scouts reported bugs as large as cattle in the woods. We headed off to Geraldine’s farm to investigate.We arrived to find her dead in front of her house, split in two. Sneaking out of the woods, we were attacked by a Goliath ant, a mantispian, and two waspiders. After investing the dead body, we found she had been switched with something that looked like her. We walked down a cleared-out path made by the creatures from the farm into the woods, and after two hours we ended up back at the same house. It was magically circling us back. Phage caught the scent of some creature, and we followed it into the woods, where we were attacked by houndbeasts (they have a weakness to electrical damage). We followed the path they came from until we reached a creature‑made opening in the woods.
As we investigated the woods and surrounding area, we were attacked by more strange animals rapid weasels and a porcupine covered in black ink. We traveled farther into the woods and found a group of kidnapped villagers being held by a cult, the same black ink on their eyes. The cultists attacked us with a drake under their control, using some kind of suggestion spell. After defeating the cultists and the drake, we learned that someone called Zelw'yn had requested more monsters from the north.
Outcome:
We rescued the real Geraldine and others from a cult south of Greenside.
Follow‑ups:
The village of Greenside’s could use support with repairs and upgrades. The guards report some “weirdness” in the north. Travel north and track the source of the monsters,body doubles, and whoever Zelw'yn is.
