Tonight we find out if the plan to trap the hunters works out or if we are facing a case of spoiled bait. With the Omelga hunt competition about to kick off there is little time to adjust plans and as the party will find out, decisions need to be made on the fly sometimes.
So let’s gear up, sharpen out blades and march out to hunt the hunter in tonight’s adventure!
Spoiled Bait

The party had made good progress in the ruse. Soon after the death was revealed and the party, Olly and Pete included, heralded as the new favourites for the hunt all eyes were upon them. Several people were outraged as money changed hands however a quiet few smiled at the potential gain with new competition.
The party had been approached by the Innkeeper they were staying with, offering free food and lodgings if they helped promote the Broadhead Inn and Hunting Lodge to any and all who would hear them. A weapon smith came and offered them gear from his shop, all of them well made but branded and styled to make them instantly recognised as sponsored by his forge. And so the day went on from there with propositions for sponsorship of favours exchanged.
But several hunters of the village approached from a different angle, intimidating and urging them to leave the competition while they still could. The first this happened the party thought they had found the killer, however several others approached them and the two young hunters and issued the same threat. It appeared as though the competition for hunting was almost as fierce as the beasts they hunted.
As the day of hunting began again the objective was clear. Participate in the hunt and appear like you are trying to bag yourself the most impressive creature while keeping Olly and Pete alive, and watching their backs for jealous hunters. The day saw them trekking deep into the woods as they followed a nervous looking Olly and Pete deeper into the forest. When the two young hunters stopped and beckoned them behind a tree they came over.
‘We’re sorry. We were told that if we did as they said they would leave us alone. There are no creatures or monsters this deep into the woods. They said that if we took you here and got out of the competition they would leave us alone. But they’ve been following us, we don’t know what to do – this wasn’t the plan’ Olly blurted out quickly.
‘Who told you this?’ one of the party eventually asked.
‘They all did. All the hunters, they are all into it, they all want us and you out of the picture.’
Thanks for joining tonight to see how this turned out. Who would have known that all the hunters were in on the grand hunt – for the players and their wards. Don’t forget to come back the next few days to wrap up this adventure and make sure you come back daily so you don’t miss out! And lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
