The merchant and his escorts head on down the road. Time for a new event!

Clues: 0/3
XP: 0/10
Rings recovered: 2/3
Keyword: Wolves (20 wolves are left in the forest)

The party finds another oak tree, similar to the previous one they found. Olaf decides to investigate since they got lucky and found one of the other rings in the last one.

Roll 1d6

A group of orcs happens by about this point and sees the party and they attack!

Level 4
-1 to morale check
No treasure

Never mind, It is a single orc. It makes a morale check due to being alone.

The orc flees in terror instead of attacking. The party gets 1 XP since the orc is considered to be defeated.

The orc flees and Olaf checks around carefully. There is nothing here. Time for a new event!

The party meet a young woodsmen (ranger). Slappy talks to him a few minutes and he is very knowledgeable about the area. He offers to temporarily join the party for 10 gp since the group is going the same way he is traveling. Slappy agrees. The ranger's name is Lark. He stays with the party for next three rolls allowing them to be previewed and the event can be modified by +1 or -1 allowing choice of which one happens (see entry 12).

Time for a new event. Because I have a scout, I can look at that entry before choosing it or pick the one above or below it.

I'm going with #17, a special event only accessible with a scout.

Laralute is now in the lead. Lark tells the party of a secret stone stair case he knows of. Laralute asks Lark to lead the group to it. It is a stone ramp of stairs that descends in a large hole in the ground. She decides the group should investigate it.

Excited, she has Slappy light the lantern and leads the party downward. It is a long, dark corridor leading to a single room.

Note: Roll for room type and contents. There are no entries or exits. If it is a boss, it is an orc reaver with the ring.

The room is a 30 x 30 square with a single door leading in. The room is empty. Use the special event table.

It is a sacred temple. One character gets a +1 against demons or undead monsters. This is used one time. Since Dru doesn't have a very good weapon right now, Laralute accepts the blessing.

14 is another wolf attack. Using Lark the scout, it becomes entry #15, a roadside shrine.

Roll 1d6

It is a shrine to a local spirit. The party can rest and get more bandages. Dru will get a few more since hers were lost earlier. Lark will stick around for one more encounter.

OOC:CUsing entry 55 (none of these are good encounters, but this one is slightly better with a Barbarian)

Ahead the party sees what looks like a giant dinosaur. "These creatures are common from where I come from," The ogre says. "Keep your heads down and don't make eye contact. We don't want to confront it if we don't have to." He shields Teddy's eyes as he lowers his head.

The group must roll 7 or higher. They get a plus 5 from Olaf's level. If they fail, the creature attacks.

The group barely makes it past the spiked tailed beast without incident. It does look their direction for a moment but moves on. Ahead the trail forks. "Safe travels my friends," Lark says with a friendly wave. He heads in a different direction from the group.

OOC: Entries can no longer be previewed or chosen ahead of time.

Time for a new event:

It starts to rain once again. Any tracks nearby will be harder to follow. It begins to lightning. Laralute could have absorbed the energy in the air with a lightning bolt spell, however she does not have one prepared now having used it earlier for this purpose. There is a 1-6 chance a character will be struck by lightning.
