The Frozen Timepiece
In a remote mountain village, time has inexplicably frozen for everyone except the party. The villagers are stuck in mid-action, and the environment is eerily silent. The party must investigate the source of the temporal anomaly, which leads them to an ancient clock tower at the mountain's peak. Inside, they face time-manipulating puzzles and guardians before confronting a rogue Chronomancer who has disrupted time to prevent a future catastrophe.
