Game Description:
It's been a long time since the people of Welton have worried about anything but sheep ticks and late frosts, but now a pack of strangely determined wolves are spiriting away entire flocks at a time and driving farmers from their fields.

With food running low and their sorcerer-in-residence nowhere to be found, the village council sends out a desperate plea for brave adventurers to destroy the beasts.

Is the job as easy as a walk in the woods, or is there more to the Wolves of Welton than mere animal cunning? There's only one way to find out.

The Wild Sheep Chase

12:30 PM to 2:30 PM

DM: Lacy
System: D&D 5E 2014

Pregenerated Characters: Yes
Players Should Bring: Nothing

Game Description:
The party is interrupted by a frantic sheep equipped with a Scroll of Speak to Animals and a fierce determination to get their attention.

This is no mere beast, however, but a wizard who has fallen victim to an embittered apprentice. Transformed assassins are looking to grab themselves a mutton dinner, while the only object capable of restoring his opposable thumbs lies in the hands of his former pupil and current nemesis.

Fortunately, the woolly wizard has found new allies he can rely on... right?

The Sad Case of Mary Pym

3:30 PM to 5:30 PM

Game Description:
The agents are sent to England to investigate a simple haunting at Uxley Hall, where the ghost of Mary Pym appears only at night. With the estate tied up after the Pennyworth family's recent deaths, the government wants the disturbance resolved so the property can be sold.

Keep civilians out, settle the haunting, and quietly deal with any other supernatural trouble that crawls out in the process. You know how it goes: lift a stone and you find bugs. If sorting out the haunting wakes up anything else, put it back to bed. Leave Uxley Hall in better shape when you leave.
