A Hyena Den (#16/30, #320/365)
"Venturing up this rocky valley seems to have disturbed a pack of creatures. You cannot see them clearly among the rocks and thorny undergrowth, but catch occasional glimpses of spotted furry hide and dog-like faces with big ears. A cacophony of yowling starts up, a loud choir of baying and howling, apparently warning you to travel no further along this route."
Contents: This valley hosts the den of a pack of HYENAS, who will attack if the Heroes persist in exploring the valley further. They will flee back to their den if they lose half their number in combat, but will fight to the death to defend the actual den if they have retreated here.
The den houses a number of Hyena cubs, that can be trained by anyone with the relevant skills, time and experience. Also in the den are various bones and skeletons, plus some accoutrements, most of which have been gnawed on by the cubs, but include 2-12SP, 1-6GP, a Silver Dagger (with some teeth marks), and a brass lantern (only slightly chewed).
The Hyenas will respond positively to offers of food but only if it is fresh meat. Giving the pack 2-7 Provisions-worth of fresh meat will allow free passage through the valley, but the den remains off limits.
Stats:
4-24 HYENAS, SKILL 5 STAMINA 6, Large Bite
1 HYENA MATRIARCH, SKILL 7 STAMINA 8, Large Bite
2-7 HYENA CUBS, SKILL 3 STAMINA 2, 1 Damage
Just wanted to post a quick note to say I'm really enjoying reading these posts. I only discovered your blog and this Dungeon23 excursion a couple of days ago so I've a lot to read. It's lovely to see someone doing so much with the fighting fantasy setting.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff.
Hi Shane, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. :-) Glad you are enjoying the journey, and rest assured I am already trying to figure out how to turn the whole thing into a use-able dungeon/city/wilderness campaign/sandbox for Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2E. Cheers!
