Social — The Divided Tollhouse – The Boarwood Covenant (6/24)

The Divided Tollhouse

The village council is in heated debate. Three factions have formed:

The Woodcutters — Led by Garret Hask, they want to expand logging operations. Secret: His crew found a stone and sold it to a masked stranger.
The Shrine Keepers — Led by Priestess Mira Bellwether, they believe the forest's anger is divine punishment.
The Reeve's Faction — Reeve Crowl wants compromise but knows the stones were taken by agents from Edme.

Skill Challenges: Sense Motive (DC 12) to detect Crowl's secret; Religion (DC 14) to identify the stones' symbols; Nature (DC 12) to learn about the masked stranger; Diplomacy (DC 15) to mediate.

Clues: The masked stranger is a priest of Norgorber; the stones had Azlanti geometry; the missing face was marked with a star.
