Forest of Andor/In the trees
Day 1
As the party as discussing how to proceed, they are surprised by another Vine Leshy who bursts out onto on the back of a Gecko.
First thing in the morning, the party descend the tree-case and following directions from the guard at the bottom, head North on a slightly overgrown trail. The trail heads North and reaches a smelly bog, where Jadrol quickly chooses the Westerly path.
Approaching the junction, Cordon picks out the snuffling noises typical of a boar, whereupon the beast comes charging out of the bushes to the West. Jadrol and Grel attack the Boar, and nimbly avoiding Callas Entangle spell, it comes running up to Jadrol squealing in his face.
Abruptly, 2 more boars appear as if from nowhere to hassle the party.
A crazed boar charges Riva the Gecko, impaling itself on Cordons spear, driving itself on and on and pushing the mounted pair 10' back towards the swamp.
After killing or chasing them off, Calla and Grel spot a foot sticking out of the muddy ground.
The limb turns out to be attached to a humanoid in soggy leather armour, and Cordons attempt to interrogate the nearby bushes placed the death at about 2 weeks ago.
Looks like the scout had been killed by a boar (shock!)
On the body is:
- 14s 3cp (Returned to family)
- Campfire Bead
- Fine looking shortbow
- Snapleaf
Travelling on, the party encounter someone limping to towards them - an injured Elf.
Turns out the elf (Franken) knew John, the dead scout and agreed to return the pouch of coins to Johns family.
Franken described the firebreak - the place was deserted & 3 days North he was struck by a sudden sense of dread, driving him to head home. As he worked back he was attacked and in trying to escape he badly injured his ankle and struggled to make it back this far.
