The nascent adventuring party travels along the Forest Road for about half a mile, gaining respect for the wounded merchant with every passing step. Immeral has no trouble spotting the man’s footprints staggering along the road at a run, but fails to see any sign of pursuit.
Eventually, the group comes across what appears to be the merchant’s wagon, overturned and burnt, on the other side of a crude bridge crossing a small river.
Even as the party approaches, a rust-colored lizardlike humanoid steps out from behind the wagon and starts speaking in [sblock=draconic]
More pinkskins! Get ready. [/sblock] As it speaks, two large insects with bright red carapaces emerge from the light underbrush on either side of the path.
[sblock=terrain]
The path is normal terrain.
The bridge is also, but there is no railing, and
the river is flowing quickly underneath it.
The dense forest provides cover for anyone in it, and costs 4 squares of movement to enter.
Undergrowth is difficult terrain and costs 2 squares of movement.
The wagon would also provide cover for anyone behind it.[/sblock]
Please place yourselves inside the red outlined start area, roll initiative and let’s get this first combat underway.
