[065] [330] [116] [314] Awoooooooooo

As mentioned last night, I'm leaving on a jet plane shortly, be back in 24 hours or so. Actually, probably not a jet plane, probably one of those shitty little Air Canada Jazz prop planes, but whatever. GOOD TIMES, see you jaboneys tomorrow evening.

The bridge is in a terrible state of repair, but you manage to cross it safely. You are at the foot of some hills and it is getting darker as night closes in. You pitch camp behind some rocks to the left of the path and settle down to sleep with your sword by your side.

You have been asleep for about an hour when a terrifying howl wakes you up with a start. You put new wood on the glowing embers of the fire and urge it back to life. You notice that there is a full moon in the sky. With your back to the rocks and the fire in front of you, you stand and wait with sword drawn. Soon you are aware of being watched and then you see three pairs of eyes ahead of you glowing red by the light of the fire. Another howl pierces the night air, followed by deep growls. Slowly the three pairs of eyes advance towards you. From out of the shadows step three WOLVES ready to leap on you. They attack you one at a time.

First WOLF (Skill 7, Stamina 7)
Second WOLF (Skill 8, Stamina 7)
Third WOLF (Skill 7, Stamina 9)

This one was actually pretty tough, you need a snack after that fight. At least they're not werewolves, which we know they can't be, since it clearly can't really be a full moon since it was one last night.

Eventually you manage to get back to sleep but are awake early. In the morning light you notice a gold-studded leather collar round the neck of the largest Wolf. It must be worth 15 Gold Pieces. Putting the collar in your backpack you wonder who the Wolf's owner might be. You collect your belongings and head north along the path.

The ground is quite steep now as the path wends its way up into the hills. By the time you reach the top of the hill the sun is quite hot. All around in the distance you see the tight green circle of Darkwood Forest. Mist still hangs in the tall grasses behind you but ahead you see a valley floor bathed in sunlight. All is quiet. As you start down the far side of the hill, you notice a small wooden hut to the right of the path with its door slightly open.
