I have a solution: Let's write our own encounters!

14. The Winter Wolf. As the party enters the clearing, they see a pile of apples. Read the description below:



The apples have no secret compartments. As the party approaches the apples, they hear a howl. A local winter wolf (AC 5; MV 18"; HD 5+1; hp 27 each; #AT 1; Dmg 1-8 [bite]; SA Surprise on 1-4, cold breath; SD immune to cold) has been collecting all the apples in the forest in order to lure prey to the clearing. If anyone takes an apple or gets too close or avoids the apples, the wolf leaps out of the pile and attacks. Roll 1d6 to determine surprise: 1-2: the party is surprised, 3-3, nobody is surprised, 3-5 the party is surprised, 6 the apples are surprised. The wolf once drank a potion of sleep, but is awake now because it is not near a pavilion. It will attempt to use its cold breath on anyone near the apples, or anyone not near the apples. After two rounds of combat wererats (AC 6; MV 12"; HD 3+1; hp 16 each; #AT 1; Dmg 1-8 [sword]; SA Surprise on 1-4; SD Hit only by silver or +1 or better magic weapons) will leap out of the secret door. Roll 1d6 for the sleep spells target.

After the party kills the wolf, they can take the apples and the golden statue of the dragon as well.

The Apples had unlimited data plans. The wolf ate well that day.

I just had to check and make sure . . . but yep, these men still aren't acrobats, nor have they successfully completed the prerequisites for the Skill Focus: Apple Pie Making feat.

That which is dead can never die.

Read this thread, neither tarrying nor running.

This thread should be referenced in a Numenara sourcebook as one of the cyphers.

Just bumping this thread because I'll need it soon.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

That is worrisome...

We expect a story hour, or at least a comprehensive report.

As I put it in my review; "Forest Oracle" is like "The Room" of gaming modules.

It's not that good.

(Yes, my pronoun use in that sentence was vague. Intentionally.)
