The Opening

“People traveling to Kalvin have begun to vanish on the south road, and the survivors all speak of a wyvern circling the ridges at sunset. Mara Venn will pay well if you kill the beast and return with its head. If you can do it before the next trade caravan leaves, Kalvin stays open and the dead may finally rest.”
— Hook · kill

Set the Scene

Mara Venn lays a blood-streaked road token on the table and points toward the south road map. Three travelers have been taken this week, and the last survivor heard wings overhead just before dark. She wants the wyvern dead, its head brought back as proof, and the road to Kalvin opened before the next caravan departs.

Rumours

d4 · table

01
The wyvern only attacks after sunset, as if it is guarding something by day.
02
Old Talen says he saw a second set of tracks near the kill sites, human boots mixed with wagon ruts.
03
A child in Kalvin claims the monster has a torn ear and always lands facing west before it feeds.
04
Caravan guards whisper that someone has been stripping venom from old carcasses and selling it in town.

Stakes

If the wyvern is not stopped, trade to Kalvin will collapse, more travelers will die, and the road will become unusable within days.

Ticking Clock·A caravan leaves for Kalvin in two days, and if the wyvern strikes again before then, the merchants may abandon the road entirely.

Background Lore

The road to Kalvin crosses low moors and broken chalk ridges where caravans must slow to a crawl. In the last ten days, travelers have vanished in pairs, horses have been found screaming and half-eaten, and one survivor swore the attacker was a wyvern with a torn ear and a habit of circling before diving. The local folk have stopped using the south road after dusk, and Kalvin's merchants are growing desperate enough to pay for a clean end to the terror.

What the World Knows

A wyvern has been attacking travelers on the road to Kalvin. Mara Venn hires the party to track it, kill it, and bring back its head as proof. The hunt will lead through dangerous ridges, a hidden lair, and a final battle against a lethal flying predator.
