It began as something beautiful. The skies above Altharion burned with silver fire as a meteor shower streaked across the heavens. Such celestial wonders were not unheard of, and many gathered in fields and on rooftops to watch the falling stars paint the night in shimmering light. Children made wishes. Priests called it a blessing. Scholars took notes.

Then the forests fell silent.

Within days, hunters spoke in hushed tones of shapes moving between the trees—creatures with too many limbs, joints bending the wrong way, maws snapping open where no mouth should be. Rangers reported animal carcasses left half-consumed, not by tooth or claw they recognized, but by something that tore and dissolved in equal measure.

The birds stopped singing. The wolves stopped howling. It was as though the wilds themselves were holding their breath.

Farm animals began vanishing from outlying homesteads. Then woodsmen failed to return. Patrols sent to investigate found only abandoned camps, splintered bows, and strange, mucous-slick impressions pressed deep into the earth.

And now, nothing has been heard from the village of Lerwick for over a week. No traders. No travelers. No smoke rising from hearthfires. The road to Lerwick lies empty.

The Black Hand, unwilling to risk its own agents on rumors and superstition, now seeks capable “volunteers.” Compensation will be generous, even more so if any proof, material or otherwise, is returned from whatever is responsible for the disappearances.

The stars fell.

And something fell with them.

Objectives

• Travel to Lerwick.
• Discover what happened.
• Collect proof.
• Live to tell the tale.

Notes:
*DM Table Rules:

Cunning Heroes: If you and another ally of yours are on opposite sides of the enemy, both of you gain advantage on attack rolls. This effect is always active if there are 3 or more PCs around a target.

Effective Flasks: You may drink a health potion as a bonus action for rolled hp or as a full action for full healing(max rolls). Same applies when administering the potion to an ally.

Uncertain Fate: RP is rewarded and expected during combat. This may drastically change the outcome even on combat-focused encounters.

Magical World: If you want to try something, just ask! The Gods in my world are very active and always watching. Who knows who might aid your attempt.

MAGICAL World: The spell Anti-Magic Field doesn't exist. Ever. At all. Anywhere.
