Adventure Flow
The adventure typically starts at the discovery
of a cache of toys and Lottie’s friendship with
Groll. It then moves to the hunt and chase of
the troll. Lottie returns to Lorview and horrible
things begin to happen. Eventually, the PCs
figure out that Lottie is committing the horrible
acts, but so are others.
Lottie transforms, or begins her final
transformation, and the PCs need to end the
nightmare by dealing with Sleepless Sally in the
crags north of town.

Introduction
You may inject this adventure anywhere in
your world, and the PCs may find themselves
involved in several ways. The most likely
scenario is provided here. PCs versed in local
culture (DC 16 INT – History) may have heard
some of the tales from table 1-1 that may be
revealed at appropriate times.
Informing players of Sleepless Sally hints should
not happen until after Loretta’s transformation
begins.

 Table 1-1 Lorview Tales
1 “Sleepless Sally lives in the crags and has
plagued us for a long time. She haunts the
dreams of children, causes colic in infants,
and tempts men away from their wives in
the night.
She never sleeps and is always watching
to indulge dark thoughts or curse your
children. You can hear her song when the
winds come from the east.”
2
“There’s a dark gangling terror living on the
outskirts of town along the north tree line,
and it’s hunting all the game. When it’s not
killing game and livestock, it glares at the
good folk of Lorview with hate. It’s why the
guard changes shifts at 2:00 AM—so they
can keep fresh eyes on the dark thing up
there.”

What If
The story can go in several directions from this
point. This “What if” section is provided to help
aid you, the GM, through the most common
directions.
The PCs should be allowed to believe that the
cause of Lorview’s troubles was Groll, the troll
on the outskirts of town.
Your heroes may or may not return to Lorview
thinking their adventure is over. Most will stay
to continue searching the crags for the troll’s
treasure. Let them find it, and if they move on
to Lorview, they discover they still have some
problems.
Some clever players may suspect more than just
a troll in the crags, and they are correct of course.
Those who continue searching for Sleepless
Sally or aimlessly wandering the crags without
venturing back to the village may find Sally’s
Hollow (area 8). However, they won’t find Sally
there as she is stirring up trouble for Lorview
and corrupting Lottie Fisher, mostly while in the
ethereal realm with the use of her heartstone.
Sally may be encountered anywhere the GM likes,
but she avoids revealing herself in the town. She
finds the people of Lorview horrid and offensive.
She is most likely wandering the bottom of the
crags lamenting her existence and plotting the
corruption of the people of Lorview.

she will use the creeping stench or
oozes to her benefit in deciding where
to confront intruders.

3 - Lottie’s Return
Whether it’s on the spot or after a long grueling
chase through the countryside, the PCs are likely
to confront and, hopefully, defeat Groll.
Lottie Fisher is grieved at the news of the loss of
her large, gentle friend. The child’s family home
can be found within the township of Lorview
and appears to be reasonably comfortable with a
small barn for a few horses and a couple wagons.
Loretta’s parents make their living by transporting
goods between Hohm and Lorview whenever
required. Their attention and focus are often
diverted to business and growing food for the
winter months.
“Lottie has a wanderlust,” her mother Rasel
Fisher often says. “Even as a babe on the road,
she wandered off for two days into the forest
alone. She’s a blessing and a handful.”
“It ain’t easy raising young ones out here near
the wilds,” Malroy Fisher admits. “I lost count
of how many kids have gone missing or died in
Lorview. We’ve cast out witches, had ogres from
Gaudelfen. Some right ugly things keep popping
up. The tradeoff is that this ground is the most
fertile soil anyone’s ever seen. People don’t starve
to death here. Our crops outshine all others in
the kingdom, and well, we know it as home.”
The Fisher’s are extremely grateful for their
daughter’s safe return and offer a place to rest
and a hearty meal to the PCs as thanks. If
pressed, Malroy Fisher, Lottie’s father, will offer
his savings of 87 GP as a reward.
The Fisher’s insist the PCs stay with them for the

6 - Late Night Murder

Late into the following evening, a scream rings
out across Lorview. The mayor’s wife, Jocelyn
Clover, was roused by a commotion outside and
found the bloodied head of Joe Bixby, the local
handyman, on the cornerstone of their yard wall.
“It was horrid wicked laughter outside that woke
me. Like a child and a demon all at once. I saw
little Lottie Fisher run by, so I hurried to bring
her in, but it was her that left …. this!” as she
points to poor Joe Bixby’s head.
I have no idea what she learnt from them trolls,
but she’s become a monster!”
Nearby, glass shatters in the street and a small
figure dressed in a nightgown flees toward the
Fisher house. It was a glass jar of lamp oil that
shattered, and a hissing sound follows the child.

Appendix.
Lottie flees to her family’s barn. She carries four
more jars of lamp oil and a flint with steel. She
intends to retreat to the end horse stall and set
fire to the barn and her secret.
The body of handyman Joe Bixby is in the last
stall at the back of the barn. Blood covers the
floor, and inverted triangles with a circle in the
center and the words “Save me Sleepless Sally”
are scrawled on the wall in blood.
Some floorboards are loose at the back of the
stall, and a horrid stench emanates from beneath
the barn. The bodies of 12 local children thought
missing or lost over the past year are stowed in a
tangled rotting mass under the loose boards.
It is clear that little Lottie Fisher is not herself at
this stage. Her skin is dark, her nails are claws,
and her eyes are red. She is not a full hag yet
but is in contact with Sleepless Sally’s ethereal
presence.
Sleepless Sally is among the crowd on the
ethereal plane. It is from here that she touches

Change Shape. The spawn magically polymorphs into

a Small or Medium humanoid, or back into her hag
form. The statistics are the same in each form. Any
equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed.
The spawn reverts to either form if it dies.

Etherealness. Spawn do not have any ethereal

their creator hags who are in an ethereal state.

Nightmare Haunting (1/Day). A spawn can invade

the dreams of one sentient being on the Prime

benefits of a rest if they intend to have a short rest. If
the victim attempts a long rest, they only receive the
benefits of a short rest. The spawn may manipulate the
content and intensity of the dreams they invade.
