Oakhurst

Introdução

Oakhurst Small town; Convencional (NG); População: 901; Limite: 1,000; Assets: 45,000; Mixed (human 79%, halfling 9%, elf 5%, dwarf 3%, gnome 2%, half-elf 1%, half-orc 1%)

Uma simples cidade de fazendeiros próxima de Waterdeep e Daggerford, Oakhust nunca teve grandes histórias para contar. A cidade fica muito próxima a floresta de Ardeep, conhecida pelos elfos não muito sociáveis e dragões verdes. Mas a região é próspera, e o comércio com Waterdeep lucrativo.

A cidade possui, além da estrada principal que leva a Waterdeep (chamada estrada nova), uma antiga estrada que leva até uma antiga ravina. Além disso, possui uma planície, chamada de Ashen Plains ao Oeste da cidade.

Ganchos

Se alguém for da cidade, possuir ranks em Knowledge (local) ou for um bardo, sabe das informações abaixo:

• The Old Road ran right past the nearby ruins (the Sunless Citadel), but fell into disuse because of goblin banditry. No one knows for sure what the Sunless Citadel once was, but old legends hint

that it served as the retreat of an ancient dragon cult.

• The Old Road also skirts the Ashen Plain, a lifeless land. Player characters who succeed at a Knowledge check (history, geography, or local, DC 12), or ask someone in Oakhurst know that

the desolation is attributed to the ancient rampage of a dragon named Ashardalon.

• Cattle herders don't graze their stock too far afield these days. They're frightened by stories of new monsters that maraud by night. No one has seen these creatures, nor do they leave a discernible trail; however, cattle and people who have been caught out alone have been found dead the next

day, pierced by dozens of needlelike claws.

• Some adventures went to investigate the Citadel, but now they're missing. The missing adventurers include a fighter (Talgen), a wizard (Sharwyn), a paladin of Lathander (Sir Braford), and a

ranger (Karakas). Sir Braford was not a local, and he had a magic sword called Shatterspike.

• Sometimes the goblins offer another apple at midwinter. This apple is corpse-white and utterly poisonous, even to the mere touch of the skin. No samples either type of apple remain anywhere near Oakhurst.
• Garon, the barkeep of the Ol' Boar Inn, remembers the last time anyone, aside from Talgen and Sharwyn, asked questions about the Sunless Citadel. About thirteen years ago, a grim man named Belak stopped by, and he had a very large pet tree frog.
