-=This is a puzzle handout for the Missing Mead Mystery=-

In a tranquil village nestled amidst rolling hills and ancient forests, life flows like a gentle river. The villagers are known for their craft: brewing the most exquisite mead, golden and rich with honey from enchanted bees. As the summer solstice approaches, a grand celebration looms, featuring a long-awaited wedding between two young villagers. But disaster strikes—the sacred Golden Mead, a symbol of prosperity and love, goes missing. Without it, the wedding cannot proceed, and the village’s harmony is threatened.

Adventurers visiting the village, band together to unravel the mystery. They journey through whispering woods and mysterious caves, encountering puzzles, abominations, and long-lost secrets. The quest is not just about recovering the mead but about uncovering what was truly lost: courage, trust, and the essence of community.
