[Monster Hunt] Dream Weaver - Level 5, 12, 19 (Patreon)

On a psychedelic trip to the Astral Plane induced by consuming magical mushrooms, Esmeralda Butterwort, the apothecary for the village of Cordette, brought back a stowaway from the Far Realm in the corners of her mind. This parasite, a dreamholder by the name of Insomnium, began hopping between villagers’ dreams, manipulating them to incite great emotion on which it fed. This had the side effect of linking the villager’s dreams, creating some socially awkward encounters.

Bucket, the village mayor’s automaton, is one of the few individuals left unaffected, by virtue of not needing to sleep. While some villagers escaped, most are now trapped in slumber, and Bucket has sent a request to Heliana for help. Several villagers are showing signs of physical exhaustion, and one has passed on entirely. If action isn’t taken quickly, more of the villagers might soon expire.
