Henrik Refsnes

A dragon is terrorizing the kingdom, but the problem isn’t exactly what you’d expect. In fact, what one man would consider shit is another man’s treasure.

This is especially true for one remote village, where a dragon is taking dumps from on up high. No one knows why, but it’s consistent and has transformed the village. Buildings are reinforced and the tavern was renamed to ‘The Incontinent’. Bells are rung whenever Ol’ Dumper is sighted, and as soon as a pile splashes down villagers will dig through for the treasures of eaten adventurers. It has created a booming local economy and several magic purveyors have set up shop.

The dragon is far less popular elsewhere in the kingdom. Farmers everywhere run and hide when similar bells are rung, hoping the beast only takes the neighbors livestock. Instant karma tends to pay such sentiment back by burning down the entire countryside. Anyway, the dragon has so far resisted all attempts at tracking and killing it, and the one attempt at friendly relocation-dialogue went to shit, literally.

In these trying times the king has grown increasingly desperate in his search for able heroes (hence recruiting the player characters). They are of course free to deal with this problem as they see fit, but should they kill the dragon the promised reward turns out to be nothing except gratitude. After all, the king was asking for heroes, not mercenaries.

If the dragon is slain or driven away, the village dumping grounds will be forced to shutter its legendary artifact shops, the infamous Incontinent will run dry, and eventually the whole area will turn into a ghost town.

That said, dragons are tough beasts and this one is a mean old bastard. Luckily, should the players fail any new characters they roll can find their old equipment in—well—the poop.
