This is another of those, made for one session, type of adventures. It will fit well in Ptolus' Midtown district.
Somehow a Yellow Musk Creeper that hybridized with an Olive Slime has taken root on an abandoned property that was once owned by a delver. An interested party is looking for a new place and goes in to investigate, becoming infected.
The infected individual is acting on a compulsion to draw others in to get infected.
An encounter in the market is what gets the player characters involved. Ideally they go to investigate the house.
In the abandoned house here's a comedic beat concerning a bathroom filled with potentially explosive gas and having a stuck door.
The chimney contains a slimy cat zombie.
Out in the garden shed are three dog zombies. Bits of food litter the yard and have been put there to lure animals in to become infected.
The corpse of the former owner can be found in the bedroom. He stole from the wrong person and was poisoned. This can lead to another adventure because the trapped ring he stole that killed him was meant for the wife of someone the carrier wanted to marry, and needed to get the wife out of the way.
There's a box of adventuring gear under the bed that includes a dagger with a command word on the blade. This lets the wielder turn invisible.
Destroying the Olive Creeper results in victims that have not yet become slime zombies recovering. You may want to complicate this just a bit by requiring a low level restoration spell or cure disease.
