12:00 PM -- Ancient, large, and lightning-blasted oak
Longe has been taken by the beast and severely wounded. The beast hopes to use their screams to draw out people from the village so that they can be picked off more easily. This is still a probing maneuver, and they will not follow through on the attack unless they see a juicy target.
Meet the Monster Lover
6:00 AM -- Creek bed flowing with water
The WitchHammers run into Birkoff who has seen and fallen in love with a HexBeast. Birkoff is shopping for dry goods. They are likely anxious/nervous as they recognize the WitchHammers pose a threat to their crush and to themselves. They will try to act normal, find out info about the players, and then get away to plot further action...
Bad Traitor no traiting
8:00 AM -- Tavern
A child will try to tell the WitchHammers info about the Traitor Birkoff. 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.
Find a large pile of meat-treats
10:00 AM -- Creek bed flowing with water
The traitor Birkoff has been leaving food (mostly cow meat) out in the woods for the HexBeast to eat, as part of the effort to study and tame the HexBeast. The villager Longe has found the meat (or the PCs if they are pro-active enough in searching) and reported it to the group. A large amount of the meat has been eaten.
Goose Chase by Traitor
12:00 AM -- Small limestone cave
The traitor Birkoff 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 Birkoff has seen it first hand. Will try to avoid going with the WitchHammers, since Birkoff wants to use the time to complete their own plans with the creature.
Poison by Traitor
2:00 PM -- Small limestone cave
The traitor Birkoff will try to poison the WitchHammers using Paralyzing Poison added to their Fresh Wheat Bread. They will present the poisoned food as a hospitality and the least they can do for the brave WitchHammers. Will excuse themselves and them flee into the woods once the poison has been delivered.
Villager reports a false sighting of the creature
4:00 PM -- Small limestone cave
The villager Ramsy comes to the player and reports seeing Murderous Crabrime 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.

Ramsy comes to the players and reports that they have found Spore from the creature. Spore is:
Leaves deer-like pellets that are a bright Red color.
Open Hearted Traitor
8:00 PM -- Ancient, large, and lightning-blasted oak
The traitor Birkoff will try seduce one of the WitchHammers and separate them from the group. They will then try to convince the WitchHammer to love the creature like they do. If this fails, will get upset and call the Hexbeast to murder the WitchHammer. Assume that in this situation it will take 3 rounds for the other WitchHammers to arrive.
Lovers at dark
12:00 PM -- Sheep paddock
While out searching, the WitchHammers come across two figures hidden in the dark. If they watch and wait, they will see them whispering. Then some kissing and more vigorous activity. Floras and Floras are having an affair.
Players find dead villager
6:00 AM -- Dramatic, 100ft waterfall
Players find the body of Floras, killed by Murderous Crabrime in its characteristic fashion.
Scary Tales from Villager
8:00 AM -- Horse barn
Floras 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
Call the Vicious HexBeast
10:00 AM -- Creek bed flowing with water
The Traitor Birkoff dramatically calls the HexBeast Murderous Crabrime to fight the WitchHammers, and declares their attachment to it. The creature will answer the call, but it feels no loyalty to its caller and if convenient will kill Birkoff bloodily at the start of the fight. Birkoff will act and fight for the HexBeast, up until the moment that they realize the HexBeast is a bloody monster that will kill them.

Curse your sudden and inevitable support for the HexBeast
4:00 PM -- Sheep paddock
The Traitor Comfect waits for the WitchHammers to fight the Estovokian Carcrat. 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. The traitor is smart enough to realize this and will try to stay out of the HexBeasts way during the combat, fleeing if need be if things go south.

Traits:
Frame: Man
WitchMotivation: Misguided Heretic: The Witch belonged to one of the various heresies that claim that the Rift has special powers, a connection to a God, things the Empire does not want you to see, etc. They sneaked into the Rift Lands on this basis and were transformed by a Spirit. While they now have objective evidence that their beliefs were false, they still operate on them, and desire to spread revelation of the glory of the Rift. Will kill people, but will also try to capture and transform them.
Aspect: Gems: Made out of an assemblage of animated gems and wire. Bonus to resist fire. Immune to most poisons. Has 1 natural armor.

Reflex: Human Reflexes: This creature has the reflexes of an average, active human being.

Arrive at afflicted Village
10:00 AM -- Sheep paddock
The adventures arrive at a village that has been attacked by an Trelawny (though of course its name is not known as of yet). They are met by a crowd that has gathered around the creature's latest kill.
Meet the Graft Mayor
12:00 AM -- Townhall
The mayor Cunninham has been stealing from the tax revenues that he should be sending back to the Capitol. What is more, he has been stealing a completely unreasonable amount. The mayor fears the WitchHammers as agents of Imperial power, and will do his best to make sure they never leave the town alive. The mayor will be polite but greasy in his interactions with the WitchHammers. The mayor has an absurd stash of gold coins hidden in his Basement.
Meet the Fan of Purity of Essence
2:00 PM -- Large, multi-family farm house
The WitchHammers run into Yuji who has seen the HexBeast kill and admires its sublime ferocity. Yuji is writing letters, in code, to be sent by his contact back to the regional capital. Will mention WitchHammers actions and recent events.. Yuji 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 Yuji is somewhat off in the head.
Foul house smells
4:00 PM -- Church
A WitchHammer notices a foul smell coming from the house of the traitor Yuji. 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.
Copy cat killing
6:00 PM -- Clear grove of flowers in the thick woods outside town
The traitor Yuji 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).
Honeypot Traitor
8:00 PM -- Clear grove of flowers in the thick woods outside town
The traitor Yuji 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.
Mayoral Spy
12:00 PM -- Church
The mayor has set a henchman, Cunninham, to spy on the PCs. This henchman will follow them around and keep tabs on them as unobtrusively as possible. The henchman is not particularly loyal and is only moderately skilled; they will spill what they know if they are caught.
Villager reports a false sighting of the creature
12:00 PM -- Sheep paddock
The villager Marella comes to the player and reports seeing Trelawny 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.
Venal and Officious Mayor
6:00 AM -- Townhall
The mayor of the village, Cunninham, gives the WitchHammers problems. He will attempt to charge them taxes for their wagon, horses, and equipment. Will also keep a tally of things (and people) broken during the adventure that they owe the community money for.
Bad food
8:00 AM -- Townhall
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.
Players find dead villager
10:00 AM -- Creek bed, dry
Players find the body of Aranda, killed by Trelawny in its characteristic fashion.
Graft becomes obvious
12:00 AM -- Church
The WitchHammers notice the poverty and ruin of the town. Starving women and kids, rundown streets and buildings, beggars and depression. Will seem odd given the richness of the surrounding lands. When asked, citizens will complain of the Mayor and his cronies and their ruinous taxes.
Mayoral Bushwhacking
2:00 PM -- Sheep paddock
The mayor has hired a group of thugs to try and remove the WitchHammers. They will attack from ambush and show no mercy, though as they are mercs their moral is not good.
Monster taunts the WitchHammers with human venality
4:00 PM -- Ancient, large, and lightning-blasted oak
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.
Bribe Attempt by Mayor
6:00 PM -- Townhall
The mayor Cunninham is getting worried about the WitchHammers. If they seem at all amenable, will try to bribe them to leave the area. Will say that the town can take care of itself, and that they don't need the Empire getting involved in their day to day affairs.
Silence the Troublemakers
8:00 PM -- Pond with ducks, and/or angry geese
The mayor and his cronies will try to silence the WitchHammers to prevent them from notifying the authorities. They will wait until the WitchHammers are engaged in combat with a monster, and then pile in to the combat at an in-opportune time.
False report by tattle-tale child
12:00 PM -- Church
A child reports that they have seen Yuji out in the woods at night doing strange things. The child is making this up, because they are an asshole.
Goose Chase
6:00 AM -- Ancient, large, and lightning-blasted oak
The villager Dursey 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 Dursey has never seen it firsthand. Will try to avoid going with the WitchHammers, since Dursey does not want to be killed by the creature.
Villager reports false Spore.
8:00 AM -- Sheep paddock
Aranda 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:
Frogs proliferate on land. They can be found by the dozens along the road, or hopping amongst the fields.
Villager's property destroyed by monster (false)
10:00 AM -- Windmill
The villager Aranda reports that their house was destroyed by the monster.
Villager beats off monster (false)
12:00 AM -- Windmill
The villager Mummbled 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 is severely wounded by beast
2:00 PM -- Grain silo
Thad limps into the village, having been severely wounded by Trelawny. 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.
False accusation by villager
4:00 PM -- Large, multi-family farm house
The villager Yuji accuses Marella of being in league with the HexBeast. They should be beaten, confined, and or killed!
Eldritch sticks found in woods
6:00 PM -- Grain silo
The villager Thad 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.
Separate Sheep from Flock
8:00 PM -- Ancient, large, and lightning-blasted oak
The traitor Yuji 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.
Call the Vicious HexBeast
12:00 PM -- Townhall
The Traitor Yuji dramatically calls the HexBeast Trelawny to fight the WitchHammers, and declares their attachment to it. The creature will answer the call, but it feels no loyalty to its caller and if convenient will kill Yuji bloodily at the start of the fight. Yuji will act and fight for the HexBeast, up until the moment that they realize the HexBeast is a bloody monster that will kill them.
