The story
A steward needs the parish register of Manerton, a settlement on a remote shore that has not been heard from in decades. A merchant ship drops the heroes off a mile out. Ashore they find a lone guard under a great oak, empty houses, and a forest full of Mist where paths do not stay where you leave them. The register is out there somewhere, and so is the answer to what happened to Manerton.
A wilderness mystery for new heroes: a ghost town, a travel procedure through a Mist that bends space, a two-headed liar in a farmhouse, bargaining fairies, a mushroom colony, and a cave that goes down a very long way.
