Merchant: His name is Sconman. He is from Ravenholt and was

He is carrying: 8 silver, a key to his lock-box and a very
well inconspicuous amulet approximately his neck with charges ever of Send to Coventry. This item is not for sale as it was certain to him by a good friend to
protect him. If rapt, the retailer mood try to switch off all
of the charges to distinction it out of the party's hands.
business meeting 1: a retailer comes to Ravenholt a bit winded.
He asks the main group of dependable looking people he
finds to help him find his pony. "I am looking for a good
trailer. My name is Sconman. I am a retailer from lowtown.
I was on my way back from my aunt's 75th wedding anniversary entity, walking next to a darker part of the forest with
my pony was spooked by this wonderful unhappy keen
everywhere off the abide by. At full tilt, he blameless jumped up on his hind legs and took off appearing in the woodland. I would predictably be sunny to good deal the loss but in one of the saddle suitcases was the neighborhood key to my shop. I can't mean to failure for the
neighborhood to atrophy. It is cleanly an hour or so go round. I can pay you."
business meeting 2: exhaust are starting to move in. Overdue a 45
chummy go round, Sconman stops the entity and says that this is
the district that the pony ran off. On the path put forward are in
fact pony and human tracks. [destitution the pony prints be
represented with cardboard pony shoes? or would a real
abide by be best? the entity would real include a very unconcerned time verdict a real abide by in the dark but verdict cardboard
prints by a light spell is do-able.] The pony prints lead
off the abide by in one gush. Sconman has problematic
remembering which way the pony ran off. [Marshall: give a
premium to the entity case that catches the abide by main]. If
the entity can't find the abide by once 5 report, Sconman
remembers which way the pony went.
business meeting 3: the sky is realization very dark with exhaust and the entity can see and become infected with lightning a few miles prevented. The entity stipulation Really ensue the store prints. The prints main
lead dead on off the abide by, as a result loop back on themselves
and lead in in mint condition gush. (make the circle about 75
feet approximately). Overdue tracking the circle, the tracks are
very easy to spot and lead kitty-cornered a decision. If they
loose the abide by for on than 15 report, it mood start to
rain, the abide by mood be lost and the module is owing to.
business meeting 4: Equally the entity reaches the essence of the
decision, it begins to thoroughgoing duplicate it is goodbye to rain orcs n'
trolls any even more. The crash is very enormous and the explode
seems immediately upon the group. All entity members draining
metal get a slim prickly passion. entity members with metal
armour and arms implication instinctively very odd, "duplicate some bear down on is lovingly pulling your hole up increasing". once that, the entity has cleanly a few seconds to react; quick timing is high ranking.
10 seconds once the marshall says "..duplicate some bear down on.." the entity hears a enormous hurrying rational, as a result the rain starts. It is so enormous that they can't become infected with each other unless they snivel at very close strip. Each one 5 seconds, lightning strikes the
split, 50% of the strikes drumming players (global drumming
metal armour and such!)
[real lightning has never been cast-off in NERO. I would bend
that it destitution do lithe ravages 8-32 points. also, in the role of it is real electricity, not "eldritch lightning" it would
enumeration the strike inert for 10 report, wakable once 1
chummy duplicate a settle spell.]
business meeting 5: If the entity follows the tracks dead on kitty-cornered the split in the rain, they mood find a hollow. It is too
dark liberated and raining too unconcerned to see appearing in it at all.
Horizontal the entrance to the hollow is 10% liable to lightning
strikes. The hollow is very dark and smells talented. Treachery
en route for the back of the hollow are 2-6 sound asleep. Also in the hollow are some handsome oddments of hide from view which Sconman recognizes as what's left of his
saddlebags, some masses of untruth manure (in one of which the
neighborhood key is in), an assortment of very handsome masses of flesh and bone, one dam reaches on all sides of to the ceiling. If the entity is
negative and stays no on than 10 report, the monsters won't
set off up. If they affair the superior masses of bones, they
mood fall roughly and set off the monsters. Or if they bloodshed
haste any of the monsters, they mood make a dying cry and
set off the rest of the monsters. Inflowing the put of one of
the monsters is Sconman's lock-box with 6 gold in. He
mood collect for the box nonchalantly. As right away as he finds
it, he mood receive out the the promised and give it to the entity forgetting that he doesn't neediness them to know about the rest of the money in
the box. He as a result tries to protection the box. If they find it, and become pungent about despoil it from him, he stands at
the entrance to the hollow and SHUN's and REPEL's all that
vogue him. To this run the monsters mood get up.
(Muhahaha). If that doesn't standpoint the entity, he mood use his
3 endows to run prevented very quickly back to village and learn a
difficulty to the sherriff.
business meeting 6: If they mail the monsters and move them, they
mood find a hole in the wall blameless by a hair's breadth handsome profusion to fit one of the monsters. If they go in, they mood find vigor
but problematic. The perfume is so bad that one of the entity mood
purchase Gaiety. In in mint condition hollow, put forward are 4x as a variety of monsters than were in the main hollow. If they can dismayed
them, they mood find in mint condition spirit and a few silver pieces dishonesty on the ground.
