Canonfire! Chronicles Issue 1 - Le Monde de Greyhawk

This was the boat Hlam was in when he went to his son’s aid; or
so he thought. In fact, the Bäckahäst took the guise of Hlam’s son,
hoping to make the clan leader its next meal. Hlam proved too
powerful, and after stabbing what he thought was his son spirit,
Hlam ran fearing he would need to destroy his son’s spirit, but he
did not have it in him to do so.
Notes: PC’s will notice signs of a struggle. On a successful DC 13
Spot or Search check, near the shore line it looks like something
was dragged into the creek. If they succeed on a DC 15 Spot or
Search check, they notice a lone hoof print where the drag lines
are visible. Add a 1 point penalty for each day that has passed
since the PC’s began their investigation or search for Rehl’s
remains. Remember PC’s suffer a 2 point penalty to their listen
checks when within a 100 ft radius of this location, though the
wailing can be heard from over 100 yards away. The following can
be read when the PC’s are within a hundred yards of this site:
The cool, subtle breeze gives way to loud panicked cries. The
sounds of a young male echo through the trees, a sense of absolute
despair fills the air, and a panicked breathing is the only break from
the unending wails ofa doomed man.
Encounter 2 – Jermlaine Sneaks
If the jermlaine are not encountered in the storage house in Vas,
another group will be encountered here to cause the PC’s some ill
luck. The jermlaine won’t fight but will try and sneak into their
backpacks and bags, cut their belts and straps, unstop potions, spill
ink on their scrolls or maps, and cause any type of mischief they
can. The jermlaine are spotted on a Search or Spot check DC 15.
Notes: These Jermaine radiate a constant aura of bad luck. The
bad luck only affects non-fey creatures in a 20 ft. radius. Those in
the area must make a DC 13 Will save or suffer a -1 penalty to all
saves, checks, and attack rolls while in a 20 ft radius of these
jermlaine. This ability stacks so multiple jermlaine can be a
detriment to any party.
Encounter 3 – The Bäckahäst Stash
Remains of several creatures reside here and a cache of their
belongings. A DC 13 Spot or Search check reveals a false top on an
ipp stump.
You notice a large ipp stump which appears to have a removable
piece of wood which blends naturally with the stump’s coloration.
