| - | The party meet with Lord Cosmo Decor, who wants them to recover his granddaughter, Maranda, who has recently run off without warning. Cosmo has found a copy of //Tales of the Wyldewode// in her study with //The Tale of the Monster Prince// bookmarked. The story describes a prince hiding away in a castle in the Wyldewode, waiting for his one true love to lift the enchantment that has made him a monster. Maranda, Cosmo explains, is a hopeless romantic who needs to be brought home, either before she gets herself hitched or before her dratted mother finds out about this. After a certain amount of haggling, Cosmo offers to pay 35R as a basic rate, with an extra 15R if Maranda is recovered successfully.

| Travelling to the town of Wildeaves on the edge of the Wildewode, the party encounters an enraged mob, which is chanting: //“Roast the butcher! Toast the baker! Set alight the candlestick-maker!”// It turns out that a few romantically-minded people have been going missing lately, and the suspected culprits are Hilde Quell, Tod Bobbin, and Kit Spindle. Spindle, the candlestick-maker, is believed to have lured their victims out into the woods using flickering lights; there, Bobbin, the baker, has left drugged cake to put them to sleep; Quell, the butcher, has then cut up the bodies for meat. | Travelling to the town of Wildeaves on the edge of the Wildewode, the party encounters an enraged mob, which is chanting: //“Roast the butcher!
