Jonah Sawyer takes refuge here once the brawl subsides (assuming he didn’t perish in the windmill). The shop’s storefront leads to a back room, heavy with the metallic stench of blood. A search reveals no meat left left—Foxwillow’s livestock have withered. Only crows remain, and a few pitiful, plucked bird carcasses hang limply in the shop, a grim reminder of the town’s decay. Investigating the…
The wyrmling’s tracks are distinctive; as a Search action, any character can look for tracks and make a DC 13 Wisdom (Survival) check. On a successful check, the character finds the wyrmling’s trail to and from area L6.

Refer to the Oakshore Docks Map and identify the Suggested Start Area for the Player Characters. Don't reveal the rest of the dock's contents yet, as they aren't initially visible to the characters.

Second Floor, Experimental Wing A heavy metal door conceals a haphazard workshop that reeks of antiseptic and charred flesh. Bloodied instruments and organ jars clutter every surface. At the center of the room, an operating table is shrouded by a stained linen sheet that is malformed by the mass beneath it. If Doctor Belkin (Wormhost Surgeon *) is present when the characters enter, he is…
Staff, very rare (requires attunement) This staff can be wielded as a magic Quarterstaff that grants a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with it. The staff has 3 charges. While holding the staff, you can expend 1 charge to cast either Maze (save DC 18) or Teleport from it. When the staff has no more charges remaining, it loses its magic and becomes a nonmagical Quarterstaff. Curse.…

In truth, Theodora is dead and her skin is being worn for a flawless shapeshifted form (as detailed in “ Golub Graygullet ” previously). If the characters persist in…
First Floor, Behavioral Ward Every inch of this vast office is meticulously organized, illuminated by the steady glow of a violet-flamed candle. A broad polished desk at the far end dominates the space, lined with wooden shelves filled with records and medical texts. An elegant longcase clock ticks loudly, the only sound in the stifling quiet. Characters may be escorted here by two Mutant Nurses…
Magic and malice give form to invisible stalkers, bodiless spirits of the air. These elusive beings pass unseen with nothing more than a stirring of air. They control powerful winds capable of moving objects and battering foes. Magic-users conjure these creatures to serve as killers and thieves. Invisible stalkers relentlessly pursue their quarry, and they rarely leave evidence of their crimes.…
Wondrous Item, uncommon This powder resembles fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you take a Utilize action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within a 10-foot Emanation originating from you have the Invisible condition for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. Immediately after an…
The investigation ends when the characters feel they’ve collected enough information to report to Fillius, who meets them after they contact him with the Speaking Stone he gave them. If the characters correctly deduce that Korex is behind the murders, Fillius agrees that the evidence supports their conclusion. If the characters don’t arrive at this discovery themselves, Fillius can help them make…
If the lurker is discovered outside the window, it begins combat by using Dark Teleport to appear next to the character who discovered it.
