The Watchtower – Agents of B.E.A.R.D. 001

The Assignment

Investigate an old, overgrown watch tower that was used decades ago outside of town. Recently, some have reported seeing it being inhabited. But it shouldn’t be. It could just be animals, but no one has gone to investigate the reports yet. The village worries that anyone using it could be doing so to gain insight into their defenses and/or “goods”, which would be problematic.

Reward: 5g/per person.

Mission Summary

• They traveled out from Easton to Wickliffe, which took about a day and a half. During the first night, they witnessed a shooting star cross the sky. E was pretty confident that it had fallen to the ground as he felt the small tremor once it left his vision.
• The next morning, a strong storm was rolling through. They skipped going into Wickliffe to head straight to the hills to find shelter in the watch tower.
• Once they arrived, they found that whomever was residing there was growing strange, sentient mushrooms. They also were lugging around a lot of equipment in crates, as well as wine barrels. All they saw when opening up one of the crates was heavy tarps of various colors.
• Entering into the next room, they found a family of Bullywugs who were not happy to have uninvited guests during breakfast.
• Seems as if the family had just moved in and hadn’t communicated with anyone in Wickliffe about taking over the abandoned watchtower. Basic knowledge suggested that both the mushrooms and the bullywugs were fey.
• The party took their leader to Wickliffe to meet the magistrate and fill out paperwork.
