Tonight finds us at the crossroads of this weeks adventure where we have a decision to make. Where is trouble brewing in Trenchold. Now this weeks a mixed back of random, going back to my original format, so we have a few twists jotted down below which are the common ones I have used in early games. So let’s sit back, grab a coffee and let’s roll into tonight’s adventure.
Trouble Brewing in Trenchold
331WeTrBrITr
Untrustworthy
As the party walked towards the destination that their guide had provided them, a sudden noise from within the trees and rocks made them stop. Voices, and quite a few of them. Relieved that it was just humans, probably fellow travellers or those in search of the same thing that they were, they began to approach the noise. That’s when they heard it.
“Are you sure that’s what the boss said? That an easy target would just waltz into these woods? Are they stupid or something? Everyone knows that this is our turf and that no one gets through without being robbed.”
“Shut it! That’s what the boss said. Now no more talking, I heards something. The scouts will be here shortly and then we can make our move.”
The party stopped and looked around and sure enough there were a few people making their way towards them. They had three options now and not much time to make it. Flee, hide or fight.
No Place like home
Following the tracks from the road they found themselves heading towards a cave. However before they could set foot inside the yawning portal a rank stench wafted over them as the wind changed direction. Bodies, the same kind of humanoids that the footprints belonged to which they had been tracking. They glanced up towards the mouth of the cave just in time to see another body of one of these humanoids being thrown out from the cave mouth by something large and obviously strong.
This had complicated things. Perhaps the creatures plaguing Trenchold were not the vicious murders that they had come to believe. Either they were coerced or had been forced from their home and were robbing and stealing under threat of death. The bodies attested to a larger foe that didn’t hesitate to kill the smaller humanoids. Something had to be done or the attacks would not stop.
Thanks for joining me for tonight’s twists. Both options are something that is seen often – a betrayal from someone who gave the party information and a change in circumstance that perhaps paints the villains in a different light. Now don’t forget to come back for the last days of this week as we wrap up this weeks adventure. And as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
