The Ravenwood School of Myth and Magic is a wonderful place. It attracts witches and wizards from the world over - students, professors, and traveling scholars alike. So it was not at all out of the ordinary when a visiting alchemist appeared at the front gates, toting a case full of magical potions and artifacts. The peddler of magical curios had travelled from afar to trade his wares and test some of his newer concoctions.

After classes let out for the day the students descended upon the merchant and his goods. Many left the impromptu market with a new treasure: a shiny new wand, a magical necklace, and many a potion promising a variety of wondrous results. As dusk fell the students returned to their dorms, the peddler was offered a guest room, and the School settled in for the night.

The next morning dawned on a chaotic scene. The student who had purchased the magical necklace found that she could not remove it, and that it was slowly but steadily growing smaller. The shiny new wand had exploded during a simple spell, seriously injuring its purchaser. Several of the potions had made their imbibers frightfully ill throughout the night. Two more students, both of whom had purchased potions, were nowhere to be found – although a new statue had appeared in the courtyard which looked suspiciously like one of them. Worst of all, a fourth year student had been found dead in his room. The cause of death is unknown, and nobody can remember if he had purchased anything from the peddler.

As for the peddler himself, when the faculty arrived to question him they found the guest room empty. Stranger still, it seems that nobody could quite remember the traveler’s name, where he’d said he was from, or even precisely what he looked like.

Just what was in that traveling peddler’s trunk? Can the lingering ill effects be reversed in time to save the endangered students? Perhaps most importantly, is this a case of intentional sabotage and murder, or just a Case of Bad Magic?

The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, witches and wizards, novice and veteran alike to investigate. Join us March 6th & 7th for A Case of Bad Magic as our agents once again return to the world of wizardry!

Over the past several years the grounds of Ravenwood Castle have seen more than their fair share of undead. Sure, every remote castle has the occasional zombie problem, but Ravenwood Castle has been the site of repeated outbreaks, with wandering zombies sporadically infesting the nearby trails, the woods around the castle, and even the castle itself. The castle’s residents had thought they’d seen it all. That is, until the very grounds themselves succumbed to the undead plague!

It started with a sudden overgrowth of poison ivy and toxic mushrooms, which choked off the trails surrounding the castle. Groundskeeping teams dispatched to correct the issue returned shaken and spooked, reporting strange sights and sounds. Some of the groundskeepers even swore that the plants were following them as they made their rounds.

The troubles soon spread to the castle’s gardens. Castle residents awoke one spring morning to find the gardens – neatly trimmed the night before – tangled, overgrown, and infested with the rarely seen Venomous Tentacula.

The loss of the castle’s hedge maze was the final straw. One day an unidentified growth appeared in the center of the maze. From the castle ramparts the oversized plant could be seen swaying in the wind… which was particularly concerning as there was no wind that day. The Head Groundskeeper set off into the maze to investigate and remove the invasive growth. Shortly after his departure a bloodcurdling scream was heard from the maze, and the Head Groundskeeper has not been seen since.

The Ravenwood Detective Agency is calling all agents, veteran and novice alike to investigate this horticultural nightmare. Join us March 13th & 14th for the return of the Midnight Garden of the Living Dead!
