The Creek That Stopped Humming

Your first session? Start here. Pregenerated heroes wait in the appendices, Bellbrook is built to set off from, and the road to the gorge is one session at a walking pace. End the day back in Bellbrook: a respite, a donation, and a level makes a first session that gets a second.

Bellbrook is a Gum Lands village strung along the Humming Creek, named for the way it chimes over the stones. Five days ago the creek began to fail. Now it barely trickles. The waterwheel has stopped, the fish have gone, the vegetable terraces are cracking, and the Harvest Moon Festival, when every family fills the common store for winter, is only days away.
