Adventurer
"Welcome stranger, to the town of Beatrixia!" A strange, small, Harengon greets you. He stands barely three feet tall and has immaculately white fur. He is wearing a red velvet jacket and watch with golden casing and chain. "I'm Peter the Greeter!"
You're not entirely sure how you got here. You were following a well-worn path in the woods when things got...odd, somehow. The plants started looking more colorful and fanciful. The path, which had been just trodden dirt, now had white cobblestone. The Harengon greeting you was near the entrance to the town where there was a sign to the same effect. After you introduce yourselves, Peter goes on: "I'm the official greeter! We don't get a lot of outsiders around here, but when we do my job is to greet them! Well, come on into town! I'll show you around."
The town itself has a central fountain. All the buildings are very oddly shaped--mushrooms, eggs, and carrots dominate the scene. They come with their own signs as well: a bakery (with a loaf of bread sign), a smith (with tongs and hammer), and others. Everything is very colorful but tends towards pastels. There are plenty of flowers growing too. All the people are dressed in somewhat similar style to the greeter and everyone seems cheerful and content. Well, almost everyone. You manage to spot a lone Harengon who's medium and dressed very differently than the others who's scowling. That one marches over, but his scowl turns into a smile as Peter leads you all to the local tavern. "I can take it from here, if you don't mind Peter."
"Oh! Well, I'm glad to see you smiling at last friend Shelby! If taking these poor lost travelers to the tavern makes you so happy, by all means do it!"
Peter leaves and Shelby takes you into the tavern. Much like the rest of the town it is a mix of soft pastels and comfortable seating. It's also built for people half your size, so you need to bend to go in. The barkeep is dressed in a lilac outfit. "Would you like some drinks for yourself and your friends, Shelby?"
"In a bit, Maude, I'll need to find out what they like first!" Maude nods and smiles, and Shelby takes you to an area about as far from her as possible. "Whatever you do, don't order the Beatrixia Special: not if you value your species! This place is in the Feywild and overseen by Beatrix, the Archfey. She loves small, cute animals and finds some way to transform people into them! I'm the last of my adventuring party, and so far I've only managed to avoid their fate because I was already a Harengon. The transformation is not just of body, but also mind. I'm not sure how long I will be able to resist that, but I'm hoping that, with your help, we can all find a way out before it's too late!"
