From the introduction: The [player characters] are traveling a rarely traveled [road] at about dusk, just as the light in the sky is fading and the shadows are spreading like overgrown vines. They travel a poorly kept dirt road in the forest, probably on their way to their way to somewhere specific, when they hear screaming. It’s hard to tell who or what is screaming at first, but it’s plain that whatever it is, it’s in extreme pain. User summary: For 3rd level characters.
