FA2 12/9/59 Snowbeak & Fort Skulnar (50 XP)

 

Simon N. (GM):From what Greeba can gather, Braltak's group didn't actually go very far into Underhall. In a chamber west of the entry chamber they found a Death Dog worrying a dead Crimson Monk, killed it after a tough fight and found some treasure in the lair. There were signs more death dogs lived there & they thought they heard something approaching, so left hurriedly.
Gorlock (Tony):hola!
Simon N. (GM):hi Tony!

Arian (Kimberly):So, Simon, as an outlander, I have trapping equipment. Can we set up a trap, then I'll shapeshift and try to lead the wolves out.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):The only issue with the ambush is that we'll probably wake up the Ors and Ogre insiude?
Arian (Kimberly):I mean, I could try and get them on our side
Gorlock (Tony):just kill then, not worth the hassle
Arian (Kimberly):but I can't actually speak with them
Gorlock (Tony):they are little ones
Tiffany, Angelic Sprite:A trap to trap wolves? A big ask!
