The party is called to help Breton, a wealthy farmer in the village of Entenest. His farm has been plagued by ankhegs stealing his crops and attacking his farm hands. As they arrive, the ankhegs are attacking other villagers in strange ways. The truth is that a Night Hag, Granny Birchwood, came and granted 5 wishes to 5 villagers 5 years ago. She said the wishes would last 5 years and now has returned to take the benefits of those wishes back. However, the last wish was granted to the mayor of the town, who begged the hag to save the whole town from a fire.
This is the fifth in the A to Z One-Page series, featuring Ankhegs. The series is going through each monster in the Monster Manual, and presenting a brief adventure that highlights that creature as an antagonist.
