The Cursed Scarecrow
A scarecrow erected to guard newly planted fields has begun wandering at night, driving off not just crows but workers and travelers as well. Its straw is damp with unnatural dew, and its sackcloth head whispers warnings in an unknown tongue. Discover who cursed the scarecrow, what it is trying to protect, and whether destroying it will doom the harvest.
