The Haunting of Blye Street
 |
A low-level horror exploration adventure for the world's greatest RPG!
For years¸ Blye Street¸ in the hamlet of Harvel's Joust has attracted visitors from far and wide. It had a reputation for being the best shopping experience that the province had to offer: fine clothing¸ dear perfumes¸ children's toys¸ books¸ delicacies from all over the world¸ quality arms and armor¸ and even items of magical nature could be found here - for the right price.
On a cold autumn night three years ago¸ a thick torrent of smoke sprouted from Blye Street. The fire razed like the flames were fanned by the devil himself¸ engulfing the street and the neighboring houses in an inferno. After the fire brigade had managed to douse the final fires¸ not much was left standing.
Over two dozen people were believed to have died in that fire¸ but only two bodies were ever recovered. Although the townsfolk believe that the fire was started intentionally¸ no culprit was ever arrested. In the aftermath¸ Blye Street was sealed off from the public. With its main attraction torched and its wealthiest entrepreneurs either dead or destitute¸ most townsfolk abandoned the Harvel's Joust. Only a handful of inhabitants remain¸ and all know to stay away from Blye Street. Those that left¸ however¸ started a rumor that leaped through the inns¸ taverns¸ and alehouses of the country like an ember in a hayshed. According to those that have left¸ one night every year¸ the Night of the Inferno¸ Blye Street rises from its ashes.
The party returns to Blye Street on this night to find answers. Who started the fire? And Why? And what is causing the once-lauded shopping street to rise from its ashes like a phoenix?
Happy Halloween!
