This Tuesday night we welcome two Heartfelt Hunters to the mix who are both young, prideful and so very foolish. This weeks adventure revolves around the party being paid to watch over two newly fledged hunters from Omelga.
Tonight we need to muster forth with our wards, so gear up, grab your boots and let’s march off into tonight’s adventure!
Heartfelt Hunters

The party had a bit of time while Olly and Pete rushed back through the forest to retrieve the guard. The party took this time to look around the area for anything that might indicate what happen. A few footprints near by led to a single blow-dart a dozen feet away. Laced with a poison that relaxes the muscles and dulls the senses of those struck it was small enough that in a heated pursuit it could feel like a bug bite.
The experienced hunter and his apprentice would have been no match for even a pack of goblins let alone a larger goblinoid or worse. Within an hour the hunters Olly and Pete returned with several other proven hunters and then the real work began. Suspecting foul play and not wanting to scare off the potential murderer the party concealed the dart and waited until they could speak with the council alone.
It did not take long until their presence was requested by the council. A group of experienced hunters, elders and business folk all of them they all quickly understood what the party has suspected. ‘Foul play, a murder perhaps. I know that Linden and Rake were the favourites in this years ladder, a competition to crown the master hunter, but I wouldn’t expect that the competition and their rivalry would get this fierce.’ Aaron, the master hunter of Omelga stated. A few nods around the room indicated that they also suspected the same.
‘I fear that Linden had many rivals, potentials who were vying for the title this year. It won’t be an easy job to find out who they are.’ Wisteria, an elder and herbalist added as she inspected the dart, ‘this poison is common amongst hunters as it can make dangerous foes easier to take down.’
‘When we are hunting more intelligent beasts we use a bait.’ Olly added.
‘I am sure that there are dozens of hunters out there that we could ask to help us out.’ Pete added. The council considered it and spoke in hushed voices as they looked between Olly, Pete and the Party. After a minute of deliberating they looked back, Wisteria addressing the group.
‘We fear that if the hunt has already produced this level of foul play that we can not trust any of the other hunters out side of this room. I have a favour, a change in the job parameters if you will.’ she paused looking at the party knowing what she was about to ask. ‘If we declare that Olly and Pete are our favourites and that they are tracking the beast that killed Linden and Rake will you adventures be able to defend them. These young hunters being our bait and you the hunters of the most deadly of creatures, monster hunters?’
