Fishwell Bridge
More actions
North east of Kornwall in the Stormlands there is a bridge conncecting the eastern parts of the Stormlands with Kornwall. It is known to be a very important rout for trade, especially for wood, fine leather and fabric products, horse meat, corn and bread. The rout gains in signifficance in the long months after winter when the stream of the rivers in the Stormlands get so strong that trade by boat becomes nearly impossible because of the melting ice in the north of the continent.
The stream usually is very strong and there are many sharp and large rocks beneath the surface, making crossing by boat or swimming very difficult.

Quest
The bridge has been destroyed during a storm a few weeks ago. Many logs of wood have been transported here since then but there is no capacity to send qualified man to rebuild it. Bob the Builder (Commoner in Battle) is at the moment the only one staying in the house on the south-west end of the map, waiting for suited staff. He actually posted a note on the Korn-Gate in Kornwall to attract capable people to help him rebuild the bridge without success. If Bob the builder dies the Quest is over.

They see a small humanoid standing on the edge of the remeining brindge confronted with two giant goats threatining the person to push it into the river. There are many other goats on the map trying to fend of the heroes beofe they can save the half-Gnome known as Bob the Builder. At some point he may be pushed into the water and needs to be saved by the heroes or the quest will be lost. The remaining goats will flee at some point (Reward: 10 Rations per killed Goat, Survival DC 10).
- Inspect the broken Bridge: As the fighting calms down the players have time to gather the following information:
- The Bridge was Pushed over by something strong and physical, no water or storm (Investigation)
- The Goats behaved very strangely. The kind of treated Bob the Builder like a especially valued target (Animal Handling).
- The wood stacked here has been chewed on by giant goats. It's like these beasts try to manipulate the ongoing work (Nature).
