The powerful Hobgoblin Warlord riding his winter wolf found them but was eventually killed by the PCs after a tough battle. The Ranger found more tracks of wolf riders near their home base (which they were desperately trying to get to). One PC decided to cut off the head of the warlord before riding their horses hard through the forest. More and more wolf riders appeared and pursued as the PCs galloped madly ahead. The PC with the warlord's head held it high in the wind and they declared the death of their big boss. The hobgoblin dismayed at the demise of their warlord, lost morale and gave up the chase. Upon reaching the fortified home base, PC put the severed head on a pole outside the gate to deter any further attacks.Not only I feel that I made the right decision of not depending on random rolls in that particular situation, it gives the players the satisfaction of using creative ideas to solve problems rather than using force.</blockquote>
