The characters have been hired by peasants from a nearby village, who say that the wolves in their area have become so aggressive, they are afraid of going into the forest, even during the day. At night, everyone stays at home and locks all doors and windows, because the wolves are even entering the village. They cannot offer much in pay, but it would be a good deed and wolf fur can be sold good as well.
The forest itself is the first challenge, drenching the characters with a sudden rain and then chilling wind, while the long march if heavy on their endurance.
They cough as they finally arrive, not being used to such hardships.
Everyones toughness attribute is reduced by 1.
The party continues to search the forest, and suddenly finds itself surrounded! The forest is home to some bandits who must have their hideout nearby, because they immediately attack and announce loudly that they intend to enslave and torture their victims.
The party prevails in this battle, though the fight was hard.
The party takes a total of 11 points of damage, in marching order.
Franziskus takes 6 points of damage, minus 3 points of armour, losing 3 hitpoints.
Chuck takes 4 points of damage, minus 2 points of armour, losing 2 hitpoints.
Timothy takes 1 points of damage but his armour of 2 points prevents serious damage.
They gain 50 gold, and each living character gains 250 xp.
After the battle, a total of 5 hitpoints were healed using prayers.
Finally, very deep in the forest, the characters find the wolf lair. The wolves, meanwhile, welcome the fact that food now comes to them instead of running away, and very fast a pack has surrounded the party.
There are too many wolves and not enough heroes, and in this fight of beast vs. men, the beasts win.
The party takes a total of 21 points of damage, in marching order.
Franziskus takes 8 points of damage, minus 3 points of armour, losing 5 hitpoints.
Chuck takes 9 points of damage, minus 2 points of armour, losing 7 hitpoints.
Timothy takes 4 points of damage, minus 2 points of armour, losing 2 hitpoints.
They flee the forest and hang their heads in shame, returning to the town.
