As Wednesday comes we look at The hunt for Squires as a bunch of rowdy wanna-be knights bite of more than they can chew. Not meant to be a adventure that frames the party as murder hobos this part of the adventure frames the party and their new companion in a positive way, hopefully completing their quest at the same time. So before I spoil it let’s sit down with a hot coffee and let’s roll into tonight’s adventure!
The hunt for Squires
323WeTHuFSq
Rushing through the brush was never a good idea but the woops and cheers of the other excited squires numbed senses and he gave into the revelry. As he hurtled over a log the first signs of something large appeared. Broken twigs, missing bark and large deep footprints heralded their quarry. Reaching for the horn at his belt he bellowed out a call with it with such exuberance that the deafening sound lasted until he started to see stars.
Moving the horn from his lips and breathing heavily for a few moments he breathed through the deafening sound of his heartbeat in his ears. When the blood left his head and he looked up the sound that greeted his ears wasn’t the jubilation that was from a few moments ago.
Screaming from his fellow Squires greeted him and the roar of something else. Something bloodthirsty that felt like it froze his blood. Something that was jubilant in the hunt just as they had been when they charged after the tracks in the woods. Swift crashing through the woods heralded its approach and the only instinct that remained in his mind was… run.
Flight!
Dashing away from the creature was an act of cowardice. The tears that streaked down his face marked his shame as he heard the creature crashing through the woods some distance behind him, pouncing and devouring his friends as they too took flight and ran. Nothing was able to sate the creature’s hunger and the hunt for squires had earned its name.
Barrelling out of the woods and into a clearing near the edge of the trees he crashed into a large creature. Atop the giant reptile a woman in shining armour sat in preparation. Lance and shield ready and the adventurers who had questioned their intentions at the nearby inn looked down at him in both disgust and pity.
“Unless you want to die, boy, I suggest you get behind Charger. She and I will protect the people of these lands from the horror that has been unleashed.” the knight on the giant creature spoke in a steady and determined voice. Just as he scrambled to his feet a deep rattling hiss came from behind as the creature had finally caught up to him.
Thoughts
Now I am excited about this one. I know I say that about most adventures but this week is something else. Bringing dinosaurs into D&D brings a bit of my childhood, and my daughters passion for these creatures to life. And I am excited to see what we can make of this adventure.
Thanks for joining me again as we near the end of this weeks adventure. Just a reveal of the creatures, the encounter and any thing else I hide in the PDF to come. But I do encourage you to come back daily as that’s the best way to follow my process. So don’t forget to come back each day this week and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
