D&D Tiny Adventures: Curse of the Wolf Moon

The adventure begins . . .
Collecting the herbs will require a long trek -- through the forest, across a mountain pass, and finally to Mirror Lake. Nara Swiftwood best get started!
Encounter 1: Forest
Climbing a tree to get a better view, Nara Swiftwood met a goblin . . . in the tree! The equally surprised goblin tried to explain what he was doing there.
Nara Swiftwood made a Wisdom check with a difficulty of 12 . . . and rolled 10
The goblin's explanation was perfectly reasonable and even quite fascinating. It was so fascinating that Nara Swiftwood did not notice the dagger the creep had pulled out until it was firmly stabbed into her side. A swift kick sent the unctuous goblin spiraling towards the ground.
Nara Swiftwood took 10 damage.

Encounter 2: Forest
Nara Swiftwood was doing her best not to be too loud while tromping through the forest when several logs suddenly came tumbling down a hillside at her.
Nara Swiftwood made an Armor Class check with a difficulty of 25 . . . and rolled 27
She avoided injury from this devious ambush and soon hunted down the perpetrators that were just over the hill. They gave themselves and their valuables up under the pressure of clearly superior force.
Nara Swiftwood received 55 XP and 10 gold.

Nara Swiftwood crossed into the mountain pass, and her progress slowed.
Nara Swiftwood used a Magic Whetstone. (+3 ATT for 6 encounters)
Nara Swiftwood used a Potion of Healing. (Heal 20 damage)
Encounter 3: Mountain
Nara Swiftwood was peacefully strolling along a path through the mountains, minding her own business. Just as she passed a large rock, a goblin warrior leaped out to stab her with a spear!
Nara Swiftwood made an Armor Class check with a difficulty of 25 . . . and rolled 17
Painfully, the attack struck true and Nara Swiftwood had to stifle a very unheroic yelp. Rallying her strength, she slew the goblin using her dagger.
Nara Swiftwood took 9 damage.
Nara Swiftwood received 25 XP.
Nara Swiftwood received a suit of Chainmail.

Encounter 4: Mountain
As Nara Swiftwood passed through a canyon, goblins up above started raining rocks down on her!
Nara Swiftwood made a Dexterity check with a difficulty of 12 . . . and rolled 22
Nara Swiftwood deftly caught one of the rocks, chucked it back at a goblin, and beaned him squarely on the head. The goblin rolled down the slope to Nara Swiftwood's feet, and the rest scamped away.
Nara Swiftwood received 55 XP.
Nara Swiftwood received a Greatsword.

Finally, Nara Swiftwood arrived at Mirror Lake, where the herbs were known to grow.
Encounter 5: Lake
Nara Swiftwood was surprised to see two snarling kua-toa with nets and tridents rise out of the lake!
Nara Swiftwood made an Attack Bonus check with a difficulty of 15 . . . and rolled 15
The creatures were somewhat clumsy on land, and Nara Swiftwood defeated them easily. Still, Nara Swiftwood had to wonder what else might come out of that lake . . .
Nara Swiftwood received 83 XP and 4 gold.
Nara Swiftwood received a Potion of Aptitude.
Attack Bonus check:
d20:7

Encounter 6: Lake
A lizardfolk warrior charged up the beach as terrified fishermen fled in its wake!
Nara Swiftwood made an Armor Class check with a difficulty of 25 . . . and rolled 20
Nara Swiftwood provided enough of a distraction for the fishermen to escape, but the sheer strength of the lizardman was too much to overcome. Nara Swiftwood escaped, but was injured in battle. The fishermen rewarded Nara Swiftwood for her aid.
Nara Swiftwood took 5 damage.
Nara Swiftwood received 16 XP and 6 gold.

Encounter 7: Lake
Two dwarves stood in a small boat at the edge of the lake, yelling at each other loudly. Nara Swiftwood attempted to defuse the situation before all the noise attracted trouble.
Nara Swiftwood made a Charisma check with a difficulty of 13 . . . and rolled 17
The two dwarves were arguing over a trade dispute, and Nara Swiftwood deftly mediated their problem. (She never figured out why they were in a boat, though.) The hirsute debaters offered Nara Swiftwood a reward.
Nara Swiftwood received 68 XP.
Nara Swiftwood received a Lesser Anvil of Moradin.

Encounter 8: Final Encounter
With a name like Singing Falls, Nara Swiftwood expected a cute little waterfall, not the two-hundred-yard wide, thirty-yard-high monstrosity thundering down before her. The blessed wolfsbane was there, growing on a rock protruding from the water right in front of the center of the falls. There were a lot of sharp rocks in front of the falls, actually, making a swimming approach too dangerous.
Nara Swiftwood made a Strength check with a difficulty of 13 . . . and rolled 14
Nara Swiftwood walked under the waterfall and got pounded by the water. It seemed the only reasonable path even though the rocks were wet and slippery and the water punishing. Nara Swiftwood's athletic prowess was up to the task and she was able to retrieve the wolfsbane. She proudly returned with it and saved the village. They will forever know her as a hero, and of course, rewarded her greatly.
Nara Swiftwood received 130 XP and 21 gold.
Nara Swiftwood received a Magic Whetstone.
