[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 6079050, member: 36150"] The party happens upon a beautiful but wounded woman in the woods who is barely coherent and has no identifiable markings... every now and again she will mumble something about her shawl. The players return her to a nearby town where someone recognizes her from their childhood and apologies for being such a rotten child. He mentions that the kids were mercilessly cruel to the woman as a child and she ran away from home. Local legends circulate that she became some sort of hermit in the woods, and people often commented on the "lost child" as if she were a monster... which means she must have a lair. The party enters the woods outside the city, eventually finds a hut guarded by dire beasts. When they finally enter, they find an old woman with her familiar, a wicked looking cat who hisses and growls at the young woman's presence. The crone claims that after safeguarding her a while, she felt the child was cursed and abandoned her to a farmhouse down the way. On the farm, they find that the family is unusually large... it's a family of Ogres! Turns out the Ogres invaded the farm and are holding the farmer and his family hostage. Once rescued, the farmer says that once the ogres discovered the woman, they were angered by her beauty and threw her into the lake on the other side of the farm. When the PC's arrive, they see the lake is crystal clear, unusually so, and they can see that a nearly transparent shawl can be seen at the bottom of the lake. Once a hero enters, however, he hears the screech of birds... swans. They dive and harry the player. The noise raises the ire of the dormant water elemental. Once the shawl is won and returned to the woman, she undergoes a startling transformation into a beautiful swan... she rejoins her flock and they fly off together, reunited at last. [/QUOTE]
