- Former tiny farming village, with one woman (5'3", 125#, face smudged with dirt, old enough she probably has kids, young enough to still be pretty, curly white-blond hair) in the middle in a tattered wool dress and shawl, sweeping and cleaning.
- Now, nothing but stone foundations and chimneys remain, but near many of the houses are 3 dozen various clay jars and jugs full of liquor, grains, pickles, etc. worth about 1 gp each, and one with low value coins (132 cp, 65 sp, 1 gp)
- The green hag, Shaggy Mirtha is here, sweeping up grass, hoping to add to the two Shambling Mounds of hay that are already here. She will claim to have come to the village to meet her daughter (mostly true), but it was attacked by horrible plant monsters (also true). She survived by hiding behind haystacks. It is a DC 14 Insight check to determine that she's not being entirely straight-forward. She also has 3 flasks of alchemist's fire, a bag of caltrops, and her broom is a broom of flying.
- In exchange for enriching the village's crops, Shaggy was promised the village's next daughter. Unsurprisingly, they tried to back out of the deal, and Shaggy swept in and wiped out the town. She now wants money "to hire heroes to search for her daughter" (actually because she's greedy), and figures to attack the party to get it. She can be appeased with a gift worth approx 500 gp. If appeased with such a gift, she will be impressed, and give the party her magic broom.
- If asked about daughter
- age : quite young, walking and talking and eating on her own by not much more.
- appearance : "quite a lot like me"
- name : "oh it doesn't do to go giving out children's names willy nilly"
- where : she's going to go visit villages nearby and see what she can see
- can the party help? Keep an eye out, but she feels like she can't ask the party for help
- in combat she will hide behind a haystack, cast dancing lights while acting like she's summoning will o wisps, turn invisible, send her broom to swoop through the air, scatter caltrops, use her alch. fire to ignite the haystacks, conjure illusions of haystack from behind a house, will claw at heavily injured foes.
