Contract Summary
Frightened Villagers seeks capable hunters. Bearded Devil has turned Extraplanar into a danger zone. Bring the target in alive Reward promised: 100 gp and a formal share of any bounty already posted under Bearded Devil.
Target Monster
Name: Bearded Devil
Type: Fiend
CR: 3
Legendary: No
A muscular devil with scaly red skin, goat‑like legs, and a long snake‑like beard that can lash like a whip. It carries a wicked glaive and sports curved horns on its head.
Mission Frame
Employer: Frightened Villagers
Objective: Bring the target in alive
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Extraplanar will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: The employer is nearing a desperate choice that will worsen the situation or cost innocent lives.
Hook and Signs
Hook: The only hunter who returned from Extraplanar refuses to speak above a whisper and keeps sketching Bearded Devil in the dirt.
Signs of the monster:
- Fresh tracks slowly fill with dark water or ink even in dry ground.
- Prints or impact marks suggest movement that ignores normal terrain.
- Different witnesses dream of the same location in Extraplanar, even if they have never seen it.
Twist: The client cares more about proof, specimen, or public vindication than the safety of the hunting party.
Rewards
Primary Reward: 100 gp and a formal share of any bounty already posted under Bearded Devil.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Red Oath Brand
Red Oath Brand
Form: brand
A thumb-sized iron sigil that leaves no wound but marks the air with the smell of ash.
Minor Effect: Once per long rest, the bearer can make one spoken vow impossible to ignore, granting advantage on a related Persuasion or Intimidation check and preventing interruption for a moment.
Reward Item Preview
