Attack of the Colossal Egg

The peaceful village of Willowmere awakens to find an enormous, mysterious egg has appeared overnight in the town square, pulsing with strange magical energy. When the village elder attempts to touch it, she falls into a deep enchanted sleep, and now the egg is growing larger by the hour. The unlikely trio of Merina, Pickles, and Sheepcorn must discover the egg's origin and stop whatever is about to hatch before it destroys the village.

Secrets & Reveals

  • The egg contains a baby phoenix dragon hybrid that was hidden in Willowmere by its mother to protect it from poachers, but the protection spell malfunctioned
  • Grandmother Iris isn't actually sleeping—she's mentally linked to the creature inside and is trying to calm it from within
  • A rival village's jealous merchant deliberately sabotaged the protection spell, hoping the hatching would destroy Willowmere
  • The creature will imprint on whoever it sees first upon hatching, making the party's approach critical
