From Introduction: In The Butcher of Bakersville the players find themselves relaxing at a tavern on an overnight stop. Meeting a man claiming to be able to help them on the next leg of their journey, they arrange to meet up with him the following day. The man never shows and the characters are drawn into a gruesome mystery. The last person to see him seems to have been Wesney Dott, Bakersville's burly butcher; owner of the Pie Crust and purveyor of fine meat products. What the players don't realize is that for years the innocent looking Pie Crust and its proprietor have been hiding a very dark secret.
