*Module 2 map: The Munchmeat Farm (module equivalent of Manschmied Farm)*

## Overview

A farm northeast of Birdcruncher territory. The Birdcrunchers sent the party to deal with Pa Manschmied and the fire-breathing pig at this farm. The approach was a stealth operation. The farm had an ogre family — Oger-Pa, Oger-Ma, and Oger-Son. Pigs were freed. Some of the ogres did not survive. The party left with what they came for and the unsettled feeling they were following something, not leading.

## Farm Layout

- **Main house** — on stilts with a cage-hollow underneath
- **Chicken coops** — north of the house; free-range chickens
- **Upturned boat shelter** — to the west; serves as pig pen
- **Workshed** — to the south; overgrown; fire-burping plants grown here (fuel for Piggy)
- **Animal pens** — held Princess Crackling and one ordinary farm pig
- **Locked trapdoor** — inside the farmhouse; not explored by the party

## Campaign Canon

- **Name:** Manschmied Farm. This name does not appear in any extracted module. Module 2 uses “Munchmeat Farm.” “Manschmied” is either a GM renaming or player-coined name. Confirmed campaign canon regardless of origin.
- **Location:** Northeast of Birdcruncher territory.
- **Mission origin:** Assigned by Wise Mummy Sprattleharsh after the Chieftain’s Moot (23.03.2024) — kill Pa Manschmied and the fire-breathing pig.
- **Approach:** Stealth operation. Sneaky Scorch was in his element.

## Events at the Farm

- **24.05.2024 (Osterode — confirmed T1):** Shvub-Mah arrived with Princess Crackling. 2 Granite Vultures landed on the farmhouse. Freed farm chickens; party hid on the hill. An Ogerspinne (ogre spider) came up the hill — defeated. A wild spider appeared — also defeated.
- **House investigation (Osterode sessions):** Found **Alchemy Goggles** → Bubble. **Gourd of Fire**, alchemical supplies in a chest. Locked trapdoor — not explored.
- **The pigs:** Two pigs in the farm pen on the west side under a boat repurposed as a pig enclosure — **Squealy Nord** (the Licktoad tribal mascot, captured by Pa Munchmeat before the village burned, held here and fattened for bacon) and one ordinary farm pig. Squealy Nord was freed here. **Princess Crackling was NOT freed from this farm** — she had already been captured at a stream before the party reached Birdcruncher territory, and was with the party as Shvub-Mah’s bonded companion when they arrived. *confirmed — GM T2, 2026-04-05*
- **Oger family schedule:** Oger-Ma left with a large axe; tracked toward Devil Plateau, trail lost by Sneaky Scorch. Oger-Pa returned with another Ogerspinne at night. Oger-Ma returned with Oger-Son and a dead hobgoblin.
- **Night at an abandoned farmhouse (earlier):** During the approach to Manschmied territory, the party rested at an abandoned farm. An ogre attacked in the night. Shvub-Mah kited the ogre through the house repeatedly until the ogre failed to eat him.

## Ogerspinnen

Multiple Ogerspinnen (Ogre Spiders) were present at and around the farm. FoundryVTT (5/24/2024) stats: Venom DC 22 Fortitude, Web Trap (Immobilized, DC 22 Escape), natural attack 2d8+8 piercing (crit doubles). *confirmed — T1*

- First Ogerspinne encountered on the hill — killed (24.05.2024 session).
- Oger-Pa returned during the night with another Ogerspinne.

## What the Party Followed After

From Manschmied Farm, the party followed spider tracks up a cliff and found a cave entrance. Inside: a room with **2 shattered Guardian columns** (were once anchors for beings, now broken — beings had apparently escaped). This led to the extended spider cave sequence and eventually the Astral Plane transit.

## Relationship to Module Source

Module 2’s equivalent location (Pa Munchmeat’s farm) is an ogre druid’s farm with fire-breathing boars and Squealy Nord caged in a pen. The campaign version diverges: Princess Crackling is the fire-breathing pig (a separate animal from Nord), and the Oger family is the Manschmied family. Follow campaign version.

## Notes

- The farm is **not** where Squealy Nord was kept in this campaign. Nord was recovered from Paddlefoot Farm between the first and second ship expeditions.
- Princess Crackling (fire-breathing pig) and Squealy Nord (tribal mascot) are distinct animals. Shvub-Mah has both. Do not conflate them.
- FoundryVTT (5/24/2024) confirms: Sneaky Scorch, Shvub-Mah, Rrrahah Bäähh, Bubble Bomb, Princess Crackling as active players. “Ma” (Oger-Ma) also appeared in rolls.
