The team will pretend to be a hunting party that is in pursuit of a mythic Fade-touched beast that would be useful to Riftwatch somehow, rather than twig anyone onto the fact that they’re thinking of using the lodge for other strategic reasons.
They’ll visit the pub for some rumor gathering, and in the meantime they’ll tell their own tales about their quarry (while pretending it’s a secret no one should spread, shhh) to encourage people to talk about their fake hunt for the fake animal instead of what else they might be up to. They’re going to have a fake bestiary page and a song about the fake animal to sell it as totally real actually. They’ll plant some fake tracks and stuff in the woods and near the village, too, just as a gift to themselves/the world.
Then they will absolutely be terrible and go to the castle. They’ll approach by continuing to pretend to be hunting, and having someone fake (or actually acquire) an injury that warrants going there to ask for help or shelter. Maybe in a thunderstorm or something.

Tell us how bad it is.
Thank you!
