The WitchHammers run into Pulliam who is trying to tame the monster. Pulliam is intercepting people traveling on forest road, to either Robbin Hood them or just hood them.. Pulliam is kind hearted but badly misguided, and cares for the beast like one might for a favorite pet. They are worried that the WitchHammers will kill or drive away the creature, which has been coming to them regularly for (non-human) food. They think they can tame the beast and make it safe and useful to be around. Despite their delusions, not willing to kill or hurt people to defend the beast.



Bad Traitor no traiting
10:00 AM -- Grain silo
A child will try to tell the WitchHammers info about the Traitor Pulliam. E.g. that they've seen them in the woods with scary things, or smelled weird things from their house, found gnawed bones in their backyard, or seen odd lights from their home at night. Will not be 100% believable, since it is just a kid.



Scary Tales from Traitor
12:00 AM -- Orchard field
The traitor Pulliam tries to scare off the WitchHammers by telling them the HexBeast is very, very, very dangerous. Will claim that the other villagers have downplayed the number of murders, and/or that a previous team of WitchHammers has already been killed by the creature. Will try to get WitchHammers to leave early and move on to the next adventure.

Goose Chase by Traitor
6:00 PM -- Small limestone cave
The traitor Pulliam tries to mislead the WitchHammers and send them on a goose chase to a moderately far location, e.g.a days travel there and back again. Will claim to have heard of a sighting of the creature there. Will accurately describe the creature, since the Pulliam has seen it first hand.

Meet the Fan of Purity of Essence
6:00 PM -- Cross roads near town
The WitchHammers run into Crossland who has seen the HexBeast kill and admires its sublime ferocity. Crossland is rubbernecking at a cart with a broken wheel. Crossland is somewhat insane and not particularly nervous; they will want to see the HexBeast kill the WitchHammers and others, and will try to help the beast along with its divine violence. They will try to find out what they can about the WitchHammers. They will also try to attach themselves to the WitchHammers with offers of help, assistance, guidance, etc. This way they can better betray them later. The encounter should also give some hint as to the fact that Crossland is somewhat off in the head.



Meet the Angry Drunk
8:00 PM -- Horse barn
The WitchHammers run into the traitor Mottola, who is badly drunk and stumbling and smelly and being jeered by villagers. Mottola is an angry drunk, mean and bitter from years of humiliation and failure, and wishes to use the HexBeast as an instrument of revenge on their community. They have seen the HexBeast kill, from a distance, and are now working in secret to help the HexBeast destroy the village. They are unhappy to see the WitchHammers, as the WitchHammers might foil their vengeance.



Copy cat killing
12:00 PM -- Loner's wattle-daub hut
The traitor Mottola kills a villager in order to try and emulate the monster. The body will be found in a similar state as if it had been killed by the HexBeast, but not quite so (since it was just a human who did it rather than a force of terrible magic).



Foul house smells
6:00 AM -- Graveyard
A WitchHammer notices a foul smell coming from the house of the traitor Crossland. This is because the house contains several dead bodies hidden in the walls/basement, of those that the traitor has killed in order to stop them from interfering with the HexBeast. If pressed, the traitor will try to pass it off as their new soup recipe.



Scary Tales from Traitor
8:00 AM -- Grain silo
The traitor Mottola tries to scare off the WitchHammers by telling them the HexBeast is very, very, very dangerous. Will claim that the other villagers have downplayed the number of murders, and/or that a previous team of WitchHammers has already been killed by the creature.

Goose Chase by Traitor
10:00 AM -- Windmill
The traitor Mottola tries to mislead the WitchHammers and send them on a goose chase to a moderately far location, e.g.a days travel there and back again. Will claim to have heard of a sighting of the creature there. Will accurately describe the creature, since the Mottola has seen it first hand. Will try to avoid going with the WitchHammers, since Mottola wants to use the time to complete their own plans with the creature.



Defend the Precious the HexBeast
12:00 AM -- Loner's wattle-daub hut
The HexBeast has been found and the PCs prepare for battle. The traitor Mottola steps up to defend their project/pet/love. They are killed by it and then the fight begins.

Musical instruments warp. Even when repaired, they go out of tune again within minutes.



Bad food
6:00 PM -- Cliff face with a 30 ft drop into mining pit
The food, if any, supplied by the villagers is bad. It will result in stomach aches, vomiting, and general malaise for the a full day before the symptoms come somewhat under control. You can treat this as a -2 Malus to all rolls for the duration.



Honeypot Traitor
8:00 PM -- Graveyard
The traitor Crossland will try seduce one of the WitchHammers and separate them from the group. They will then call the Hexbeast to murder the WitchHammer. Assume that in this situation it will take 3 rounds for the other WitchHammers to arrive.



False report by tattle-tale child
12:00 PM -- Horse barn
A child reports that they have seen Fowlis out in the woods at night doing strange things. The child is making this up, because they are an asshole.



Villager beats off monster (false)
6:00 AM -- Graveyard
The villager Sengoku reports that they were attacked! Will say this loudly and too anybody that will listen, how they were attacked but drove off the monster. This made up to make them look brave and to cover up the fact that a cat badly scratched them.



Villager reports a false sighting of the creature
8:00 AM -- Windmill
The villager Mithos comes to the player and reports seeing Nauseating Corruptoad in the distance, on a hill or at the edge of the forest. The beast glared frightfully and then fades back into the woods/hills. It gave a fearsome hunting cry before disappearing.



Villager is severely wounded by beast
10:00 AM -- Loner's wattle-daub hut
Lyson limps into the village, having been severely wounded by Nauseating Corruptoad. They can gasp a few words, but will be largely unresponsive and on deaths door even if they get prompt care. Without prompt care, will die within the hour.



Players see monster in distance, then it retreats
12:00 AM -- Windmill
A player sees Nauseating Corruptoad in the distance, on a hill or at the edge of the forest. The beast makes eye contact with the player, marking them for later destruction, and then fades back into the woods/hills. If appropriate it gives a fearsome hunting cry before disappearing.



Scary Tales from Villager
2:00 PM -- Cliff face with a 30 ft drop into mining pit
Lyson comes to the WitchHammer with tales of terror and telling them the HexBeast is very, very, very murderously dangerous. Will claim that the other villagers have downplayed the number of murders, and/or that a previous team of WitchHammers has already been killed by the creature. No real reason to tell the tales (they might even be true_, just like scaring people and feeling important



Eldritch sticks found in woods
4:00 PM -- Grain silo
The villager Aspinall reports to the WitchHammers that they have found strange signs and sigils in the woods. Will take the WitchHammers out there, but on inspection they will probably be able to tell that this was just random chance, pagan worshipers, an arts and crafts project, a fallen hut, etc. rather than actual deviltry.



Goose Chase
6:00 PM -- Grain silo
The villager Lyson accidentally reports a sighting of the HexBeast at a distant location and potentially sends them on a goose chase, e.g.a days travel there and back again. Will claim to have heard of a sighting of the creature there. Will inaccurately describe the creature, since the Lyson has never seen it firsthand. Will try to avoid going with the WitchHammers, since Lyson does not want to be killed by the creature.



Separate Sheep from Flock
8:00 PM -- Horse barn
The traitor Crossland will try to get one of the WitchHammers alone so that they can be killed. Will claim that they have an important secret that the WitchHammer needs to see, or a business proposal that they want to talk about in secret. Will bring the WitchHammer to the HexBeasts hunting grounds, where the beast will appear and attack. The traitor will want to watch and appreciate and not interfere with the attack. This is an interstital attack; the creature will flee if things look hairy. Assume that in this situation it will take 3 rounds for the other WitchHammers to arrive in response to calls for help.



Quiet... too quiet
12:00 PM -- Pond with ducks, and/or angry geese
Nothing happens, or at least nothing that the PCs do not cause. All the threats working against them are quiet, sleeping, napping, planning, etc.



Curse your sudden and inevitable support for the HexBeast
6:00 AM -- Cross roads near town
The Traitor Crossland waits for the WitchHammers to fight the Nauseating Corruptoad. Once combat has started, will betray the characters and attack them from behind. The HexBeast has no particular affection for the traitor, and will kill them if convenient.

Graft becomes obvious

The next time the WitchHammers face the creature, it will taunt them that they are not even supported by their own people. Will bring up evidence of the mayor's peculation and the effect it has had on the town. Mention that its victims have all been weak, scrawny, and ill-fed.

Meet the Fan of Purity of Essence
4:00 PM -- Townhall
The WitchHammers run into Croissant who has seen the HexBeast kill and admires its sublime ferocity. Croissant is shopping for dry goods. Croissant is somewhat insane and not particularly nervous; they will want to see the HexBeast kill the WitchHammers and others, and will try to help the beast along with its divine violence. They will try to find out what they can about the WitchHammers. They will also try to attach themselves to the WitchHammers with offers of help, assistance, guidance, etc. This way they can better betray them later. The encounter should also give some hint as to the fact that Croissant is somewhat off in the head.



Copy cat killing
6:00 PM -- Grain silo
The traitor Croissant kills a villager in order to try and emulate the monster. The body will be found in a similar state as if it had been killed by the HexBeast, but not quite so (since it was just a human who did it rather than a force of terrible magic).

Foul house smells

A WitchHammer notices a foul smell coming from the house of the traitor Croissant.

If pressed, the traitor will try to pass it off as their new soup recipe.



Villager reports false Spore.
12:00 AM -- Cross roads near town
Kosygin comes to the players and reports that they have found Spore from the creature. The report is incorrect; it was just a result of rumor and fear and chance. Spore is:

Goose Chase

Will claim that they have an important secret that the WitchHammer needs to see, or a business proposal that they want to talk about in secret. Will bring the WitchHammer to the HexBeasts hunting grounds, where the beast will appear and attack. The traitor will want to watch and appreciate and not interfere with the attack. This is an interstital attack; the creature will flee if things look hairy. Assume that in this situation it will take 3 rounds for the other WitchHammers to arrive in response to calls for help.



Honeypot Traitor
12:00 PM -- Creek bed flowing with water

Scary Tales from Villager
6:00 AM -- Horse barn
Diddley comes to the WitchHammer with tales of terror and telling them the HexBeast is very, very, very murderously dangerous. Will claim that the other villagers have downplayed the number of murders, and/or that a previous team of WitchHammers has already been killed by the creature. No real reason to tell the tales (they might even be true_, just like scaring people and feeling important



Bad food
8:00 AM -- Dramatic, 100ft waterfall
The food, if any, supplied by the villagers is bad. It will result in stomach aches, vomiting, and general malaise for the a full day before the symptoms come somewhat under control. You can treat this as a -2 Malus to all rolls for the duration.
