The Adventures of Berred, Ranger of Shadow Deep
Scenario 2: The Infected Trees
Examining the bodies of the zombies, along with the other clues from the village, left little doubt. The village had been attacked by some horrific species of giant spider, whose venom reanimated the dead. Thankfully, such creatures move slowly. Likely, they will have retreated to the nearest shelter to slowly feast upon the missing villagers. Your duty is clear. Taking just enough time to patch up your wounds, and make a quick pyre for the dead, you set off after the spiders, following their faint, but unique tracks. After nearly a day’s pursuit, the tracks lead into a small forest. Chances are the spiders are not too deep in the woods. You must find them, destroy them and any nests they might have made, and, if you are lucky, rescue any survivors.
With bated breath our brave heroes entered the woods. At least the sun was shining so there’d be fewer spiders. As our brave adventurers delved deeper spiders were indeed spotted and shooting was, for once, on target. Our Ranger was back on point and at home in the woods. 
While Berred and Sir Brian split off to investigate a suspicious tree the others continued deeper, with Trotter the tracker keeping track. It was then that the sun was covered by some deep dark clouds plunging the woods into shadows and making shooting much harder, and spiders more excitable.
A shot was missed so our tracker had to get messy and kill the spider the hard way. But all did not go exactly to play, Halleck, the brave guardsman, was bitten and poisoned, before Trotter could dispatch the spider. 
In his poisoned state Halleck lagged behind and went to investigate and help a potential survivor who was encased in a web. Turns out the “survivor” hadn’t exactly survived and during the moments of panic our guardsman got himself entangled. Sir Brian heard the commotion and ran in just in time to dispatch the zombie.
With a keen eye Berred discovered something very fine indeed behind that suspicious tree, more gold and jewels, more funds to fight evil. With a job well done it was time to find the others.
Trysten came upon a tree covered in webs, one of the nests where these giant spiders were coming from. With quick thinking he torched the nest, and the tree and a few of the nearby bushes, it’s the only way to be sure.
Alone and certainly not lost in the forest, mistakes were made and Berred became stuck fast in a giant web costing valuable time. It took many attempts to escape, but that stuff was really sticky and wouldn’t let go. Finally after what seemed like hours he managed to cut himself free.
More tree burning, more nests were destroyed, thanks to the use of Trotter the tracker’s pipe. 
Things were on a roll now, most of the nests had been burned. Just one more to go. Trysten was just about to set light when a spider jumped out and almost bit him. Thankfully Trotter was nearby and distracted the spider while Trysten burned it’s home. 
Sir Brian found another web, but carefully using his trusty axe, he cut the web and to his shock He’d found someone who still lived. A knight's job well done.The hero.With parts of the forest burning, our heroes and the lone survivor departed to report to the king. Halleck recovered from his poisoning, the spiders were all dead and our heroes had completed their first mission. The first strike against the Shadow Deep had been won.
Congratulations great work on your project figures and battle report’s @demonsub fantastic looking figures.
Thanks. I had great fun playing the game and writing about it afterwards. There’ll be more in a few weeks (just waiting on stuff).
Nice.
