A cozy little cottage perfect for a weary group of parties to spend the night… maybe a little too perfect.

In my campaign this is a mysterious cottage that reappears in random places as a random encounter, always when the weather is terrible, always in a new location. They’ve never dared sleep within it, and it’s always gone by morning. Who knows what would happen if they actually dared to sleep inside?

Deliberately put in as little terrain as possible so that it can be pasted in to any biome.

Plot hook ideas that I use it for:

– A painting off in the hallway with very little room to look at with a friend. If anyone stops to look at it, they risk being trapped in the painting.
-Food and drink well prepared is sitting hot and ready for them to eat. If they eat it they have to make a save or be charmed by the cottage. They become unwilling to rest anywhere else until after dawn.
-Mirror in bedroom is magical and allows them to cast identify on any items they hold aloft in front of it, but it is a two way mirror that the one hunting them is using to scry on them. (This being also learns the properties of anything they Identify this way.)

-Book in the desk seems to correspond with the owner of the cottage. The owner pretends it is a magical Bed & Breakfast and requests that they write about their experience to learn more about them.
