Tonight's Background

After capturing a patrolling Hobgoblin, Arg 'gently' persuades some pertinent information from him about the whereabouts of the Goblin King. With the afternoon spring rain coming down in the thick forested Howling Hills and the path to the ruined monastery and the entrance to the Hobgoblin king's domain blocked by a camp of Hobgoblins there is nothing else to do but sharpen your blades - for blood will spill this day!

The map of the clearing is below...

It is now mid-day (around 2pm)

New Experience Rule

From now on PCs will receive full monster experience for monsters killed instead of splitting them between the party.

Example:  5 ghouls = 300xp.  Instead of a party of 5 PC getting 60xp each, each character involved gets the full 300xp.

Treasure experience points based on Gold Piece value will still be divided between party members as per standard rules.

Example:  2,000 gp = 2,000 xp divided equally to party.

Tonight's Background

Resting for the evening at the Hacky Shack, a friendly tavern in the town of Berkenstoke, Arvin's Avenger overhear the cynical one year anniversary celebration of the appearance and subsequent disappearance of Fumark The Foul as he and his band of soldiers were in search of the unguarded treasure of Medora the dragon.  They have not been heard from again since they had passed through Berkenstoke exactly one year ago.  Apparently, the 'unguarded' treasure wasn't so unguarded after all!  The last to see them alive was Abner the ferryman who ferried the band across the Blackmoor River and into the Howling Hills.

But the night wanes on and Sgt Lucius of Blackmoor stationed in Berkenstoke will escort Arvin's Avengers to Blackmoor early the next morning.
