This is part of a story that works as an interactive game. You’ll need to have some paper and dice at the ready! Click here for the beginning of the Medium Adventurers League. Here is a reminder of the rules. You can also go back to the Adventurers League Headquarters, or return to the inn for a rest.

You set out from the Adventurers’ League headquarters, the information you recently gained still running through your mind:

Chibby Lorka here, from Pinetops Village. I transport logs from the mountains to the city, using an ancient tunnel. However, last time I went that way, I was attacked by a terrible beast — I can’t go back until it’s been dealt with!

There is no mention of a reward, but you feel fairly optimistic that as a merchant, Chibby will have enough money to toss a handsome reward in your direction if you slay the monster.

If not, perhaps you can search the pockets of its previous victims…

It’s still early when you hit the trade road that leads into the mountain. It’s a well-used route that loops south and then to the city, rather than going directly through the marshy area near the guildhall.
