This week the twist isn’t so much about the Kilderken Hunters camp but what is in it. It’s not a large force and by the looks of it from the outside the people that move about the clearing aren’t what they first thought they would be. But looks are deceiving and that is the theme of this weeks adventure.
So let’s grab a coffee, prepare ourselves and stroll into tonight’s adventure!
Kilderken Hunters Camp

As the party moved through the woods the sun began to dwindle and the tracks that they had been following for the better half of the day were showing signs of tiring. Earlier in the forest there were signs of something dark. Runes, fetishes and parts of dead animals were impaled upon trees and there was a feeling of desecration where ever the party stepped. That had finished when they had found the tracks of their quarry.
Several booted feet lead bare feet deeper into the woods, further east and where they walked the runes, fetishes and even gruesome displays of dark magic had been removed or cleansed. For some time now as they followed the footsteps the forest started to feel cleaner with more promise and the abundance of life was becoming clearer. But as dusk descended upon them the signs of their targets slowing also encroached.
As night fell a camp fire could be seen between the trees. A small creek ran through some trees and into a clearing where two small tents had been erected in a hurry. One was more worn and appeared larger as if meant for more than just providing shelter for the night where as the other looked more typical, more military. Despite this the several men and women they could see around the camp gave them pause as none of them appeared cruel or malicious.
Several were knelt in prayer whilst the others burnt incense and sprinkled something around the camp as if warding from spirits. The party crept closer and began to overhear parts of conversation. “Be careful young Jarred. Don’t listen nor look at those witches as they will charm your senses and enslave you. I don’t want to have to do to you what we did to Armen.” one of the more armoured people called out, an older man.
“Yes Carn, I will ensure that they are fed and leave them be.” the younger boy, Jarred, responded as he entered the larger camp. The sounds of whimpering and softer voices came from the tent before Jarred returned. “I have re-placed the sacred wards as well. No evil shall become of this camp tonight.” he announced to the approval of the camps inhabitants.
A bit of a twist this week with the quarry and target being seemingly different to what one would normally assume. But don’t be fooled as with any adventure change is just around the corner. Don’t forget to come back for the remaining days this week and, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
