Main Street

Rows of small cottages line the crossroads of two streets formed by months of regular foot traffic. The scene is silent and still. The houses are recently built, but there is no sign of life or activity. Many of these simple homes have no proper shutters, and in some cases even lack doors. Nearby, once-cut grass has begun to regrow undisturbed. Gardens and plots of farmland behind some houses have begun to grow wild as weeds threaten to choke out the vegetables and herbs.
The colonist’s houses all tell a similar story: the occupants are missing and show no sign that they packed their belongings. Except where noted, there are no signs of violence. The PCs can discover a few useful mundane items as the GM decides, such as a compass, a sewing kit, cookware and the like, but nothing of great value remains here except where designated. Non-dangerous pests may occupy some homes, but the buildings can easily be cleaned out and repurposed.
