The Opening

“The gnome merchant Glim Gormadock gestures nervously toward the towering black pines of Jarnskogen, his hands trembling. Garuuk's raiders are everywhere and my carts are full of things that cannot fall into their hands, he whispers. Lead us to Leidon by moonlight or we won't see the dawn.”

— Hook · escort

Set the Scene

The campfire light flickers against the gnarled bark of the Jarnskogen perimeter. Glim Gormadock checks the wheel of his lead wagon for the tenth time, his eyes darting toward the pitch-black woods where the drums of the Garuuk clan echo in the distance.

Glim Gormadock

Glim approaches with a frantic, stuttering energy, clutching a ledger to his chest as if it were a shield.

Rumours

d3 · table
  1. 01
    Glim Gormadock is carrying more than just clockwork toys in those crates.
  2. 02
    Warlord Garuuk has sworn to paint the pines red with the blood of any who cross Jarnskogen.
  3. 03
    The forest itself has turned sour; the trees have eyes and the mist has teeth.
Stakes

If the caravan is captured, Garuuk will use the relics to summon an ancient evil, and Glim will be publicly executed.

Ticking Clock·The Garuuk clan scouts have already found the caravan's tracks; the party has twelve hours of darkness to reach Leidon before the full warband arrives.

Background Lore

Jarnskogen is a dense, ancient forest known for its oppressive atmosphere and gothic gloom. Warlord Garuuk and his orc clan have recently descended upon the region, hunting for specific treasures to fuel their war machine.

What the World Knows

A merchant needs safe passage to the fortified trading post of Leidon to deliver essential supplies before the orc blockade tightens.
