The Opening

“The Gilded Griddle is usually known for its fine steaks, but today it smells of brimstone. Silas Thorne, the head chef, grabs your arm with trembling, flour-covered hands. He begs you to help him before the health inspector arrives and finds the literal hellscape in his pantry.”

— Hook · Dungeon Crawl and Retrieval

Set the Scene

The players are enjoying a meal at the Gilded Griddle when smoke begins pouring from the kitchen, but it smells like concentrated pepper and scorched earth rather than food.

    The Gilded Griddle was built over an ancient, dormant volcanic vent.
  3. 03

Stakes

If the fire is not contained, the Gilded Griddle will explode, likely taking the surrounding city block with it. Silas will also face life imprisonment for reckless use of prohibited alchemy.

Ticking Clock·The Health Inspector, Madame Vex, is known for her punctuality and is due to arrive at the front door in exactly one hour.

Background Lore

The Gilded Griddle is the most prestigious tavern in the city. Its success is built on the 'Chef's Secret', which Silas recently tried to upgrade using alchemical components purchased from a traveling merchant named Malakor.

What the World Knows

Silas dropped a rare bottle of imported spice that created a localized magical mess in the basement, and he needs it cleaned up before the lunch rush.
