Contract Summary
Harbor Factor seeks capable hunters. Worg has turned Forest into a danger zone. Recover what was taken Reward promised: 30 gp and a recognized trophy taken from Worg, enough to prove the deed in noble halls and roadside taverns alike.
Target Monster
Name: Worg
Type: Monstrosity
CR: 1/2
Legendary: No
A large, intelligent wolf with dark fur and glowing red or yellow eyes. Its snout is longer, its shoulders are higher, and it speaks a harsh tongue; it often serves goblins as a mount.
Mission Frame
Employer: Harbor Factor
Objective: Recover what was taken
Secondary Pressure: Time matters. The danger around Forest will worsen if the party delays.
Escalation: The stolen relic or target prize will be moved deeper into danger if the party waits.
Hook and Signs
Hook: A warning bell rang from beneath the ground where no bell should hang. By sunrise, something from Forest had answered.
Signs of the monster:
- The trail of the threat repeatedly crosses patrol paths, caravan routes, or watch circuits as if it has studied them.
- Boundary stones, trail markers, or shrine posts have been moved overnight to redirect travelers where the threat wants them.
- Insects refuse to cross a perfect circle on the ground, even when carrion lies within it.
Twist: The death of Worg will break a seal, vow, or ward that was keeping another disaster contained.
Rewards
Primary Reward: 30 gp and a recognized trophy taken from Worg, enough to prove the deed in noble halls and roadside taverns alike.
Secondary Reward: Relic reward: Ink of the Hushed Map
Ink of the Hushed Map
Form: ink vial
A dark ink that pools into routes, marks, and secret boundaries when left undisturbed.
Minor Effect: Once per long rest, the bearer can sketch a quick map of a place they have just crossed with unusual accuracy, including one hidden turn, seam, or branch they nearly missed.
Reward Item Preview
