Background:
The Rivercrossing toll station and the
bridges crossing the two small rivers merging here has
been built not too long ago by the father of Baron
Ybswin, the current lord of these lands, to encourage
trade while filling his purse with every wagon of trade
goods passing through.
Some traders, usually the wealthy ones, pay their tolls in
coin while all others pay with a small share of their
goods. Goods either used to supply the small inn of the
station or sold every once in a while in bulk by the
baron's men.
A few days ago a wine merchant passing through paid his
dept with a few bottles of his fine wines. Unbeknown to
him one of these bottles, only recently recovered from an
ancient ruin, contained a terrible menace that would soon
wreak havoc on the toll house and it's inn as well as their
inhabitants and guests.
Hook:
The heroes arrive late in the day, just as the gates
to the bridges are closed and the guards retire. They are
the last ones let across the rivers to spend the night
together with the guard on night shift and a pelt trader
heading in the opposite direction at the inn.
Some time during the night young Elbrecht, the stations
stable boy who also serves in the in does not return from
the cellars down below after being sent to fetch a new
barrel of beer. He has been ambushed by a slime that
made its way here through some cracks in the wall from
one of the bottles kept in the adjacent storeroom of the
toll station.
This sets in motion some or all of the events described as
follows:
Event I:
The heroes clamber down the ladder leading to
the ins large cellar, to find out what takes Elbrecht so
long. Instead of the young man they find an almost
translucent human sized slime, containing Elbrecht's
remains, which will promptly attack them.
Event II:
The heroes after defeating the slime in the
cellar decide to empty a bottle or two in memory of the
young stable hand and to celebrate their victory.
Unbeknown to them these bottles contain small slime
seeds waiting in ambush instead of fine wine.
Event III:
If the heroes did not think of checking the toll
house's store room and purging it with fire, they will
wake to terrified screams from the horses kept in the
stables across from the inn. By the time they are ready for
combat a slime of gigantic proportions will have
devoured the mounts, oozing out of the stables doors
towards the inn in search of more sustenance.
