A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Setting
• Town of Bleating Valley is set in the foothills of the Mahakam mountains (or any
other mounts you would like)
• It is a pasture village made up predominately of human sheep farmers. There is a
tavern/inn in the center of town named The Wolf Bite.
• 4 weeks ago, Dominic of Tretegor died. He owned the largest farm in town, and had
been buying up his neighbor’s farms as well. He invited Luke to dinner, then
chained him to the table to try and scare him into selling. Luke transformed and
killed Dominic.
• The party enters the town at night, finding the only place open- The Wolf Bite.
• The party will be tasked with getting rid of a wraith and stopping their sheep from
going missing. They may also take on trying to cure Luke.

Important characters
• The Wraith, Dominic of Tretegor, who haunts his old mansion. He will come back
every night if killed until either Luke dies, Luke spends the night in the mansion, or
Luke kills the wraith himself.
• Luke, the owner of a relatively small farm in town. He is a werewolf, cursed by
Dotty. He killed Dominic in self-defense.
• Sylvia, the wife of Luke. For the past 10 years, she has been keeping Luke from
harming anyone, tying him to the bed and singing to him through the night.
• Dotty, a mute and blind witch who lives in the mountains outside of town with Bo.
Was mutilated when young by Luke. She cursed Luke to be a werewolf. She can
forgive Luke if he pleads for mercy to break the curse.
• Bo, a rock troll. He is dressed head to toe in white, knit wool clothing made by Dotty.
He loves mutton and rosemary stew. Dotty telepathically communicates with him,
and they live together in a cave.
• Mikhail, a dwarf who bought Dominic’s estate at auction. He will hire the party to
rid the house of its haunt. He hopes to win the towns affection as well, but doesn’t
know how.
• James, innkeeper at The Wolf Bite. Will tell the party about the rash of sheep
disappearances.
• Mike, a guard that died trying to clear out the Wraith.

The Wraith may have noon wraith stats if the party is stronger than average.

Luke (as a human), Sylvia, Mikhail, Dotty, and James would be very easy to fight, easier
than bandits. However, if the party goes Murder-hobo, send a town guard unit against
them.

Run by James, a retired Kreve priest turned barkeep.

If the party asks, he will tell them about the missing
sheep, and offer a tiny reward if they find the culprit.
If there is a non-human in the party, he will ask
them to sit in the back of the inn, where a well-
dressed dwarf is currently drinking by himself.

If the party refuses, a man from a nearby table will

force the decision on them very aggressively. If they
refuse still, a group of men will stand up behind him
while he asks one more time. If they still refuse, the
men will attack the party. The man can be dissuaded
with a persuasion DC of 16 or intimidated with an Entrance

Once the inn guests are dealt with or they sit with the dwarf,
he will express interest in some outsider help. He will tell the In the Wolf Bite

The Cave
Inside the players can hear a cave troll talking. Farm
He appears to be in a conversation, but they
cannot hear anyone else. There is light coming
in through a hole in the top of the cave.
Bo, the troll, is preparing a large pot of mutton Bed
and rosemary stew. He will tell the party to go
away, but will not attack unless provoked. Pot

If a fight starts, Dotty will not fight unless the

party is large and/or powerful at combat. In
that case use a Mage enemy.
If the party is friendly, they can learn Dotty’s
history from Bo as Dotty talks through him. They can talk about breaking Luke’s curse. It
will take a 12 persuasion to convince her to meet with Luke again. Bo can be convinced to
stop stealing sheep if they give him a reasonable alternative. (Perhaps Luke could pay a
tithe in sheep in exchange for breaking the curse). If a mage wants to learn from Dotty, she
can teach Codi Bywyd and Telepathy.

Depending on how the players find the cave, they may be followed by some townsfolk who
will try and kill the rock troll. If the party leaves without killing the troll, the townsfolk will
try to. The players may stop them.

Aftermath
If word gets out that Luke is a werewolf, a mob will form to attack him. If he is cured, the
party can prove it using silver. If he is not cured, the party will have to fight #players +4
bandits to save Luke.

If the party does not kill the troll, but convinces him to stop, the town will be unhappy and
suspicious that it will come back. They would reduce their reward, but accept that. If the
party does kill Bo, they will reward the player most likely with cloth armor, recipes, or raw
crafting goods.

If the wraith is banished for good, Mikhail will host a party at the house. There will be a lot
of free wine and ale, encouraging the neighbors to like him. If he is grateful to the party, he
may offer them a rare item from his collection.

After Mikhail’s party it is expected the party leave town, continuing their adventure.
