terryclothHad a session of the 'hack and slash' D+D game last Friday. Haven't written about it until now, for some reason...
So, the party interviewed people in town, and got a couple leads. The job they were supposed to do was to end the curse on this church-building project, and the first lead was that there was an evil witch in the forest to the west.
So they went to find the evil witch, and after several rather boring encounters with menacing but inanimate statues and crazy forest-dwelling sculptors, met the witch, who claimed to be a druid despite having a familiar and casting only sorceror/wizard spells. Still, she didn't seem very evil, so they went back and followed the other lead -- 'imps' that had led a village scholar into the woods.
Since none of them could track a wet cat out of a paper bag, they had to hire a local ranger to follow the tracks. Eventually, the tracks led to a road -- lots of goblin tracks, some gnolls, and a dwarf! Could it be the suspicious character from town who'd hired them?
The dwarf had headed south, so they headed north... not to be contrary, but to make sure the road hit the river so that they could find their way back to town without the ranger. On the way, they were ambushed by a party of gnolls and goblins, and handily wiped the floor with them, not even letting the one who'd run for reinforcements get away.
They figured there was probably a bandit camp up north, so they were going to 'scout' by running north quickly and attacking by surprise, but the NPC travelling with them insisted on scouting by herself since she was stealthy.
Druid: "Oh, come on, don't let her scout. She'll steal all our kills!"
Sure enough, she returned to tell them that there used to be a bandit camp with half a dozen bandits, but that she'd killed them all.
