The House Always Wanders

The Hook

A dapper, unbothered fence named Mister Aldous Coats slides a contract across a tavern table: 10,000 gold for a single item called the Ember Yolk, kept somewhere inside Clatterclaw Manor — a witch's mansion that has walked the Greywicker Downs on two enormous taloned legs for forty years, never once stopping to rest. Coats has already secured a way to catch up to it. He does not mention who his client is, or why they want it so badly. He also doesn't mention that another crew has the same contract.

🎭 The rest of this tale is the Dungeon Master's secret. You'll live it at the table.
