They are scared, paranoid, and more than a little deranged.  \nThe people here will say nonsensical things, wander off mid-conversation, and may have vibrant hallucinations. These present themselves as illusionary threats due to the curse’s nature.  \nAdventurers cannot benefit from rest or sleep. Anyone staying here for more than three days will suffer from acute exhaustion and hallucinations. Even sleep-inducing magic lasts half as long as normal, and provides no rest.  \nThis is caused by the Dream Eater, a powerful monster hiding among the circus performers.  \nBROKEN INN  \nGus Broken runs this ordinary tavern with a few rooms to rent to weary travelers. The Inn is running low on ale and spirits, however, as townfolk try to drink themselves to sleep. The common room holds 2-12 townsfolk in various  \nstates of inebriation. Arguments and fights are common.  \nHARLO THE MIME  \nAmong the patrons is hard-drinking Harlo, former assassin, now a circus mime. The Dream Eater’s magic has made his invisible, mimed walls real.  \n\n| MILLER’S MADNESS\u003Cbr>Local farmers patronize Abigail’s mill, which has a near-monopoly in the area. Abigail’s illusions include shadows crawling along the walls, being watched, and tiny insects in the grain. |\n| --- |\n| BAKER’S DOZE-ING\u003Cbr>The smell of warm bread has a damp undercurrent of mold. Braided bread is shaped into weird and unsettling contortions and sculptures which seem to writhe when not watched directly. |\n\nLEAVEN FARM  \nJacob Leaven’s family farm grows wheat and has a small herd of dairy goats.  \nWith 7 kids, it’s a big family; Angie isone of the middle children.  \nJacob is a 40 year-old farmer, and his terror of harlquins and clowns is the original source of the insomnia.  \nLack of sleep has amplified Jacob’s fear, and the Dream Eater has spread it like a cancer throughout the village, and used the resulting anxiety and hallucinations of the villagers and circus performers to further torment them.  \nSHERIFF’S OFFICE  \nPortia Oskrey usually lets people manage their own problems, and she really wants this one to go away. She hasn’t figured it out on her own, and the longer she goes without sleep, the less inclined she is to try. She’ll gladly accept help and will reward those who bring any offenders in for justice.  \nCIRCUS ADVENTICUS  \nThe Circus Adventicus boasts the Laboratory of Mysteries and the Museum of Mechanical Monstrosities as its main attractions, but it employs the standard complement of jugglers, clowns, side shows, and other attractions as well. A Big Top performance ran every night until 3 days ago, when  \nthe crew simply lacked the strength to keep performing.  \nBIG TOP  \nOnce exciting, this large tent is asad, flapping reminder of better days. Weather and neglect have left it with several holes in the canvas, though the performers had tried, until recently, to continue to stage nightly shows. Now, they perform every other night, and no longer perform the animal acts.  \nCAPTAIN WONDROUS  \nThe circus ringleader and occasional performer sits sullenly in big top. He hallucinates constantly, his eyes darting to imagined movement in the dark.  \nHESPIBAH THE HUGE  \nOnce a gladiator in Owlshade, the animal-loving circus strongman often wanders away randomly, mid-task.  \nMUSEUM OF MONSTROSITIES Mechanical clanking and the smell of oil and smoke surround this bright orange tent, which houses Archibald’s numerous mechanical oddities and contraptions. The gnome-like tinkerer’s creations have become increasingly hostile and uncontrolled.  \nCopyright © 2018 Stephanie Bryant & Michael Prescott—CC-BY-NC 4.0—cbna—More at [http://blog.trilemma.com](http://blog.trilemma.com) v1.0 pg. 1/2  \n\n| d10 | Illusionary Encounters |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | 1d3 scary harlequins |\n| 2 | 1d2 escaped lio","cbCaidIm6giksxye","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidIm6giksxye","pdf",3630305,"English","# THE SITUATION\n# BROKEN INN\n# HARLO THE MIME\n# MILLER’S MADNESS\n# BAKER’S DOZE-ING\n# LEAVEN FARM\n# SHERIFF’S OFFICE\n# CIRCUS ADVENTICUS\n# BIG TOP\n# CAPTAIN WONDROUS\n# HESPIBAH THE HUGE\n# MUSEUM OF MONSTROSITIES\n# Illusionary Encounters\n# MADAME FORTUNADA\n# BACK OF THE HOUSE\n# MIRROR MAZE\n# LABORATORY OF MAD WIZARDS\n# BEAUTIFUL BESTIARY","[{\"question\":\"What stops residents of Juniper’s Crossing from sleeping?\",\"answer\":\"The Circus Adventicus has brought an ongoing curse, caused by the Dream Eater hiding among the performers.
