The party is actuallyranger 2 paladin 2            - no intent to go for a prestige class yet -protector of the tribe ( houseruled out the restriction for paladin)fighter 1 Bard 3                - shamanistic drummer no intent to go for prestige classsorceror 1 fighter 3            - arcane archer as soon as possibleScout 4                           - woodcutter with a greataxe intends to stick with scoutbarabrian 2 cleric 2            - ritually scarred, grown claws has scent follows the barely controlled savage god of the tribe very animalistic howls and snarlsFirst the tribe shaman cast a commune (bonfire mind altering herbal paste, visions of all the players ancestors appearing to them) to find out what had happened to a hunting party and it didnt go too well fire exploded shaman collapsed.The party is sent out to follow the hunting party and find out what has happened to them and to collect the rarae herbs they were after. Tracking check galore - set up camp for the night, set a fire, see wolves killing a deer just outsde the camp.next night less good campsite attached by wolves led by a dire wolf it gets awaythey rest all day travel next night then they use cunning craft traps, knowledge nature, woodcutting, survival etc to set a trap for the wolves and manage to drive the lesser ones of and to kill the alpha.theres more involving a huge viper in a pond and an evil gem poisoning the lake where the herbs they are meant to be collecting are. Hopefully they'll work out that the lakes on the same river as their villages water supply- i'll write it up sometime into a storyhour rather than boring people here. Anyway - forest encounters and good fey ones maybe?Cool situations they all are good climbers I think - itd be nice to have some scenario where that pays off.Basically I want to keep the flavour that they've started so well atand I want to reward them for taking all the skills they have first tiem ive seen a paladin with prof(herbalist).</blockquote>
