The Lurker in the Tunnels Plot in The True Dark Ages | World Anvil

The Lurker in the Tunnels

The heroes are called by the nobles of Wein. Something has took up residence in the ruins here & there in the city, and the sewers. It is feeding on all types of creatures it can catch, and the nobility is worried. Whatever the creature is, seems to be feeding randomly and needs dealt with.

Plot points/Scenes

The heroes are asked in a letter sent by Hundi Gunthr that Wein is being terrorised by a tentacled monster that seems to glow at times with a slight bluish colour. It is hunting people and animals in Wein and they need help to kill it. The adventurers are thought off as some have dealt with locals before. They prefer to have the creature alive, but will settle with a lower bounty as long as proof is brought back of it being dead.   The adventurers have to work out how the creature is getting about, where it likes to feed, and how to track & if possible trap it.   They can ask around the locals for further information and find that it prefers to attack from ruined buildings and the sewers. It lies in wait and pounces out with it glowing slightly when aroused. It seems to prefer the lower quarters and some are sure it is using both the sewers and the docks at the river to attack there.   It is up to the adventurers how they want to hunt the creature, and if they can trap it. Doing so correctly gives them more money in the long run, but being able to kill it, will yield clues that there may still be cult activity in Wein or nearby.
