SCENE 1: The Festival of the White Stag
The cobbled roads leading to Oakhart were supposed to be the final stretch before a long, well-deserved break. Your party of four has battled plenty of bandits and crawled through enough damp dungeons to have earned a proper holiday.
You traveled all this way for the legendary Festival of the White Stag: a promised week with grand feasts, the ceremonial planting of saplings, and a magical candle-lit procession deep into the forest. Arriving a few days early, you expected the bustling, joyous energy of a town preparing for its famous annual celebration.
Instead, the streets and town square are eerily quiet. A few townsfolk sweep their walkways or carry around goods like it were any other slow Sunday. There are no banners, no roasting meats, no songs. And there, nailed to the door of the local tavern, is a freshly painted sign: Festival of the White Stag - CANCELED BY MAYOR'S ORDER.
What should you do next?
