D1_Goats, Goblins, and the Sweetberry Heist

OSR / d20 / Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Scenario by OnceWas RPG

Goats, Goblins, and the Sweetberry Heist
A Lighthearted Level-1 Adventure for the OnceWas RPG (or any d20 fantasy system)


Disaster has struck the peaceful halfling village of Sweetberry!
Under cover of moonlight, a gang of cackling goblins—mounted on enormous, ill-tempered dire goats—raided the village stores and escaped with every last bundle of its prized Sweetberry Pipeleaf. The annual Harvest Festival is only days away, and without the stolen leaf, Sweetberry’s economy, traditions, and pride all hang in the balance.

Your party has one job:
Track the goblins into the twisting depths of Worros Woods, recover the stolen harvest, and uncover the truth behind the heist… because these goblins didn’t plan it alone.

What’s Inside
🟢 A complete 3–6 hour adventure for 4–6 characters of 1st level


🟢 A cozy, vibrant halfling village full of colorful NPCs, local drama, and small-town charm


🟢 A mystery twist—someone hired the goblins, and the clues all point toward a larger conspiracy
🟢 A goblin hideout full of traps, dire goats, chaotic engineering, and one very dramatic goblin boss


🟢 Multiple resolution paths: diplomacy, stealth, combat, or creative chaos


🟢 Adventure hooks, scaling guidelines, and DM tips for tone, pacing, and humor


🟢 Future tie-in hooks connecting to the OnceWas Adventure Path (A2: The Meldorin Winery)

System & Compatibility
Designed for the OnceWas Core Rule Book, but easily adapted to any d20 or OSR-style system. Converting monsters or DCs takes only minutes, making it perfect for new GMs and flexible tables.

Tone
This is a story of halfling festivals, goblin shenanigans, and small stakes with big heart.
Perfect for new players, relaxed groups, or anyone who wants a fun, charming adventure that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
