The Plot

A small village named Stonemire is plagued by a series of sheep killings during winter. A fair has stopped nearby whilst the mountain passes are frozen. A friendly Troll living underneath a nearby bridge is arrested for the killings. A Bugbear has moved into a nearby deserted Watchtower and when vanquished has been feeding sheep remains to his guard dog. However, the true killer is a werewolf travelling with the fair/circus. A final fight takes place in an old windmill. I involved a sub-plot about a local Swanmay living beneath a waterfall and a Kobold bandit group camped out on the nearby frozen lake. The winter effects (icicles collapsing in the swanmay's lair, the frozen lake combat, the effects of snow on tracking) play a large part in this scenario, which was paced for two start-up characters. They must trade some maps found at the Kobold camp to their local Sage in exchange for the loan of silver weapons to defeat the Werewolf. They find out about this necessity in a book on Shapechangers in the Study of a Zombie at the graveyard. Other plots abound in this sleepy village!
