Avermeet forest and its water ways are protected by the Avermeet Guard. The elite warriors who uphold the laws around the forest and its animals but don’t confuse these warriors for any old park rangers. Skilled and trained by elves, druids and even some fey these warriors are skilled beyond belief – just a little short on numbers to be covering the entire forest.
So to meet some of the guard let’s grab a coffee, sit down and roll into tonight’s adventure!
The Avermeet Guard
405TuTAvGu
As Kirili walked back to the village with the suspected poachers in tow she watched how they walked and listened to them. Admittedly they did not appear to be poachers and some of their story rang true. But the orders were clear, bring anyone in who is trespassing and then the head of the forest can question them.
Kirili noticed more traps and tracks along the way, a snare here, a pit there and evidence of cages being moved and dragged. The poaching had been going on for months now and certain species of animals were favoured above others. She just hoped that they could stop it soon before the damage to the population was irreversible.
Bareth strode behind the prisoners and watched her captain, Kirili, engaging in talks with them and grimaced. As far as she was convinced these poachers were going to be executed. They were basically caught red handed and were trying to deflect blame. She had to do something about it so that the reputation of Kirili and the Avermeet guard would not be tarnished as soft.
When they next stopped she grabbed one of the messenger hawks that they travelled with and quickly scrawled out a note to her uncle, the advisor to the lord.
“Prisoners in tow, poachers. They appear to have some sway with the captain. Be alert“
As she tied the message to the hawk and let it fly off a suspicious glance was sent her way from Kirili which she returned with a smile as she fetched some rations and gave it to the prisoners with a false smile. “Eat up now, we will sort out this mess once we get back to the village” she explained to them. Stealth and misdirection was one of the arts that the Fey taught the guard and she had always been a dutiful student.
Soon she would see these poachers behind bars or swinging from ropes and she would be rewarded. For really, only those who are focused in the cause of protecting the woods should be granted the name of the Avermeet guard.
Thanks for joining me tonight as we looked at two NPCs and a bit of the turmoil that sets up the primary plot this week. There is a bit of a gap between the start of the adventure and the twist, which comes tomorrow, but to find out what that is you’ll have to come back tomorrow. So don’t forget to come back for the rest of the content as we expanding content of the adventure and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
