Vandrol looks at Orsik,
”But of course, my giant friend. Return with Braddock upon completion of your task and a writ of permission shall be waiting for you as well. Accept the healing potions with the Silver Flame’s blessing; use them upon yourself or your brave allies here.”
”Now that you’ve accepted the commission, you must ready yourselves for travel. Our information says that a nomadic village of shifters stays within the southern edge of the King’s Forest, near the town of Zilspar. This information is at least a few weeks old so the exact location of this village is unknown. The tribe is said to range many miles, and there are numerous sites that have been used by them. A trade route, maintained by House Orien, will lead you to Zilspar. From there head north and a few miles into the forest, you should start seeing signs of this village. Mounts can be found at one of House Orien’s outposts in Tavick’s Landing. Once the threat from the King’s Forest is ended, return here with your findings. Go now with our blessings. May the Silver Flame light your way!”. That said, Vandrol clasps forearms with you and your allies (a little awkwardly with Rikka) and the door behind you opens, the door guards escort you out of the church. You and your allies make their way back towards the Tower’s Shard.
| GM: | Go ahead and make any final purchases. |
|
The following morning, everyone meets in Tavick’s Landing and you go through the process of renting mounts and then head out for Zilspar and the King’s Forest lie directly east of Sharn and the Dagger River. It takes about four - uneventful - days on horseback to travel to Zilspar.
| GM: | Eberron Wiki says 284 miles to Zilspar from Sharn. |
|
Upon arriving in Zilspar, you drop the horses off at an Orien outpost. After discrete inquiries, you proceed to find lodging for the night. So as to not attract any unwanted attention, it is decided that you will continue on foot.
[sblock=Streetwise DC 16 (trained only)]Talking quietly with one of the stable boys you hear rumors of creatures attacking travelers and even bandits attacking guarded caravans. The boys’ own uncle was cut down last month.
[sblock=Streetwise DC 23+]You are able to figure out that the stable boys’ uncle was attacked during the last full moon.[/sblock][/sblock]
You wake-up refreshed and ready to make your trek to the King’s Forest. You set out again, your travels are uneventful and another day sees you at the southern-most edge of the King’s Forest. Rikka quickly finds a game trail leading into the forest and you enter the forest; the sky vanishing behind the thick canopy of dense foliage above you, only allowing small amounts of light to filter through. Warily you continue.
Before long you pick up a scent of smoke and ahead you hear the clash of arms and the howling of wolves among the cries of the wounded. You race ahead, weapons drawn and enter a clearing next to a river. You have found a village, whether it’s the one you’re looking for or not, you are not sure. Figures rush around wielding clubs, swords, even large hammers. Scared villagers run, only to be taken down from behind by giant wolves and
werewolves! A large brutish–looking man covered with wounds bursts from a partially burning hut and his shape begins to blur, shifting into a wereboar! Over the ringing of blades you hear,
”Narona, you she-bitch, I’m coming for you!” then the wereboar charges a woman in dark leathers.
”Come then, Totoruan, come meet your doom you pig! It’s been long overdue!” then she shifts into her wolf-form and the two werebeasts clash and begin to fight in earnest.
