[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 4202044, member: 10784"] In my next gaming session coming up at the end of the month (postponed a few weeks so two of my group can take their honeymoon. Imagine stopping gaming for that...) the party will be heading out to a large forest inhabited by wood elves, who moved there about a century ago when troubles threatened their old forest region. The wood elves are not hostile to outsiders, but will be suspicious of any non-elves (meaning, 5 out of 6 in my group of players) and probably not too helpful at first. However, one of the humans is a cleric of a goddess that is very commonly worshippped among these wood elves, and our one party elf is a wood elf himself and a follower of another deity popular among the elves. So, the party has a good chance of at least getting some aid from them. The group is six players, about level 6 or 7: a dwarven tank of a fighter, a human rogue, a human cleric, a halfling psion, a human sorcerer and an elven fighter/paladin. The elf, dwarf and rogue are all pretty tough to hit. Everybody except the halfling psion has physical weapons that can hit most creatures. I was hoping to have one good encounter for the PCs that will get the wood elves in a friendlier mood, so they can help speed the PCs along their way. There are mountain ranges to the east of this forest that are the home to some orc tribes - but, the PCs have already fought & defeated orcs in several of the more recent sessions, so they're probably a bit "orc'd" out. They've also fought lycanthropes, human slavers and the evil clerics of the deity of slavery & tyranny. I was thinking of some sort of recent evil presence has surfaced in the forest, and the initial scouting party sent to find out more information was due back several days ago...and the worst is suspected. But - what could the evil presence be? Undead? Green dragon? A Devil? I was planning on introducing some devils in the near future and this could be the place? But, why a forest for a devil? Maybe something besides orcs out of the mountains? Thanks [/QUOTE]
