| In the deepest folds of Zwillings Canton lies the little town of Ormeltal, a place blessed with fair folk, good ale, light taxes, and cows of uncommon virtue. Yet above all things, the town is famed across Helveczia for its cheese. And so it happens that once each year the people of Ormeltal prepare a wheel of Ormeltaler so vast and splendid (and worth a small fortune too) that a strong man must lean to move it. With great ceremony it is borne into the green forest-vale behind the village and hidden among the trees, hills and pastures. Then the bell is rung and all who dare may give chase. Whoever finds the great cheese, be they a single person or a company, and carries it back to the village through the vale gate, may keep the wheel entire. These lucky souls shall be granted a year's welcome at every table in Ormeltal, with meat, bread, drink, and bed all freely given. Thus, like many bold souls, the "Company of the shaved Dog" (that's you lot) has come to Ormeltal to find the cheese and make their fortune. A small excursion into the strange world of cheesecrawling for 4 to 6 ne'er-do-wells of third level. I will have pregens ready. | |
