The story

Stillroot is a small hamlet where two minor trade roads meet at the edge of an old forest, a natural place to stop for the night. The Cask and Toad has rooms to spare, since few travellers come this way any more, and the villagers are always at their doors to welcome whoever passes through. A short horror adventure for a single night on the road, for groups comfortable with darker material.

A drop-in stop between two destinations: an inn, a church, a barn and a green under a great beech, a hamlet that is just a little too welcoming, and a night that not everyone may wake from.
