The Bed & Bread Inn

About this adventure
This is a small adventure, built to be used as
an intermission encounter to pull PCs,
specially new PCs, into the next adventure in
your campaign.

The Inn
Read of paraphrase the the speak-box below:

You are staying for the night at the Bed &

Bread Inn. You all know each other by
name or by reputation at least. Some are
more known that others.

Adventure synopsis
The PCs will be enjoying dinner, ale and
staying the night at The Bed & Bread Inn, in
the village Archerton. They see and talk to a lot
of other people in the inn, like you always do.
Everyone has their own business to attend to,
and the stay at the inn is pretty eventless.

This inn is run by a dragonborn gentleman

with the name Gondehl Tucc. Mr Tucc has
a deep commanding voice, that he use to
shout orders to the barmaids, three lovely
half-elven girls.

The next day, they ride in the direction they

were heading, and after some hours of travel,
they stumble upon a scene of a recent battle,
where one the merchants from yesterday
evening is dead, shot with arrows.

The Bed & Bread Inn is a well known inn,

located in the small village named
Archerton, along an ancient, seldom used,
and partly overgrown trading route from
the old days of the empires.

They try to follow the tracks in the forrest, and

if they are good, they will avoid an ambush
and come directly upon the bandits cave,
otherwise they will be ambushed.

For the DM
The Inn got its name from the habit of sending
a loaf of fresh baked bread with the guests
who left in the morning, as a token of
friendship and for a safe journey. This is an old
tradition among certain dragonborn families,
and Mr Tucc took that tradition with him when
he returned from his adventuring to settle
down.

Well at the cave, they will fight the bandit

gang, and find two captured merchants and
their wagon of goods. The merchants first give
the PCs a reward for releasing them from their
captivity, then offer the PCs a job as guards
and escort to help the merchants reach their
destination. The destination is the little village
of Turnip Valley, about a week to the north.

During his last adventure, his old friend, an

elven ranger, was killed, and that was the
turning point of his adventuring career.

On the road, the fifth night, when camping for

the night, they will be attacked by two hungry
beasts, Green Vermoth snakes.

He took care of his friends wife and their three

teenage half-elven daughters, that now work
as barmaids. The mother, Eriima, works in the
kitchen, cooking the most wonderful turnip
ragout.

Good luck.

The Dinner
Read of paraphrase the the speak-box below:

E1 - The Scene of a crime

You all sit at the same table to enjoy the

supper of the day, the famous turnip
ragout, served with slices of smoked lamb,
and the stout ale of Archerton.

After about 1d3+2 hours of travel, read the

following paragraph:

As the road, or what once was a road,

works its way through the dense forrest,
you suddenly see the signs of a recent
battle. One of the merchants from the Bed
& Bread Inn the evening before, Sigvurd,
is laying down on the road in a pool of
blood with several arrows and daggers
sticking out of his body. Beside him lies a
sword, that looks like it is better used as
an ornament than for fighting.

There are several other guests here, some

locals and many merchants on the road
somewhere. There is a cosy fire burning in
the fireplace, chit chat of cheerful voices
all around.
For DM
Nothing will happen this evening or night. This
is just to get the PCs to know each other a little
better. In case that you need to pull them in
the right direction, use a NPC some of them
knows from home, and make them travel
together in any direction you might seem fit.
Some of the PCs having business in that
general direction will ease the, to get going in
the morning.

DM Note
The merchants have been raided and
plundered buy some local bandits. The bandits
have captured two merchants and stolen their
wagon of goods.
The ornamented sword is worth 125 g.p.

Archerton
A small rural village, about 70 inhabitants living
in a dozen houses and farms here. A small
shop for gear and provision is located next to
the inn.

The next day

they are heading for.

used as a base by the bandits. Move directly to

The reason the skill challenge gives such
