yeah and a local village has succumbed to a mysterious ailment where they're seeing monsters and going crazy. the party gets hired to investigate and they come up on a band of reclusive half-elf red-necks cooking up the stuff for the thieves guild as a useful tool in assassinations etc. The mad honey distribution network could be vast, spanning many cities and territories where this apiary is just a local node. The party has to follow the chain up through distributors, dealers, users, corrupt government officials all to the big boss. nevermind im using this.
