The Old Oak
An ancient oak stands here at the centre of Relford. The oak itself is
dead; its skeletal boughs reaching towards the sky. A billboard made
up of a number of short wooden planks has been hastily nailed into
the tree some time ago. Various messages and advertisements are still
visible upon it.
The Old Oak is easily climbable (DC10) but is a civil offense. If the Watch catches anyone doing so, they will be arrested. This law originates from when the tree was alive and the home to a Dryad. The tree died some years ago and the dryad is nowhere to be found, but the law has remained. Anyone at the top of the tree may make a DC12 Perception check to discover the abandoned caravans of Koblin’s Bizarre Bazaar secreted in Craddoc Farrow’s corn field (Part 1, Location 17). The billboard contains a variety of advertisements and notices: The Black Skull Inn (Part 1, Location 13), the Cauchemar Tavern (Part 1, Location 7), and the Trading Post (Part 1, Location 8), a halftorn advertisement for Lugas’ Smithy (Part 1, Location 12). More recent ones include Koblin’s Bizarre Bazaar (which is now some months old) and a decree that the mine remains closed until further notice, by authority of Cantor Daggerstone (Part 1, Location 10). There is also a hastily scrawled list of names. These are people who have left Relford or are otherwise missing.
