Mission Brief: The Shadebrook Mystery
Adventurers, your presence is requested in the remote village of Shadebrook.
Shadebrook is a quiet settlement nestled at the edge of the Whispering Woods, a place steeped in local legends. However, the villagers are now gripped by fear. A treasured artifact, the Sunstone, has been stolen from the village chapel, and several townsfolk have vanished under mysterious circumstances.
The Sunstone is more than a symbol of hope—it is said to ward off the darkness that looms beyond the forest’s edge. Without it, the village is vulnerable to whatever dangers may lurk in the shadows.
The village elder, Mayneth, has reached out to your adventuring guild, pleading for aid. Your mission is to uncover the truth behind the theft and the disappearances, recover the Sunstone, and ensure the safety of the villagers.
You’ll need to tread carefully. The villagers are frightened, and some may not be entirely truthful. The forest is vast and treacherous, filled with illusions and strange whispers that prey on the mind. Shadebrook’s salvation rests in your hands, but be warned: not everything is as it seems.
Objectives:
Investigate the theft of the Sunstone and the disappearances in Shadebrook.
Explore the Whispering Woods to uncover clues and track the culprits.
Recover the Sunstone and return it to the village.
The guild has confidence in your abilities. Shadebrook is counting on you. Good luck, adventurers, A textured, aged, and blank parchment with irregular edges. An official red wax stamp. Contains a mission briefing about the Shadebrook Mystery
