Animals On The Loose!
Pinned to the Notice Board
A dark and mud-stained parchment announces:
Animals On The Loose!
Many of the fences for Fairstead Farms have been knocked down and now almost all of our animals run amok!
If you see any livestock or such roaming the area that do not seem to belong, please bring them home and, though it may not be much, we will reward you as best as we can.
- Thank you!
Ways To Approach
All we know is that the fences have been wrecked and the animals are out, and I kept this vague for a reason... so you can have the cause be whatever you want! For example, this could be the aftermath of a bad storm or even a dragon attack. It could be a prank or sabotage on the farms.
Personally? This would absolutely be the result of a boss battle the players were involved in. In the wake of a monumental victory, it's really easy to forget about the damage and destruction that was caused in the lead-up, and this is a nice and subtle reminder. The farmers probably aren't mad... but they still need their animals back. What would your heroes do? Help clean up the mess, or not?
