Read Aloud Text

As you are exploring the ruined area the shrill sound of barking suddenly erupts and half a dozen small but ferocious dogs suddenly roil out of the woods and attack followed by a flight of throwing axes and then some screaming northmen.

Tactics

The wild dogs leap in and attempt to drag down a single foe concentrating their attacks while the Warriors hurl a brace of axes and then charge in on their own.

The Shaman calls down the wrath of the northern spirits attempting to freeze as many foes as possible and then singles out enemies with range attacks.

Development

The wild eyed northmen fight doggedly until the end and have no reinforcements or retreat plan.

Features of Area

The ruins make for difficult terrain with rocks in many places.

The northmen only carry their weapons and a light amount of treasure and have no purpose in the area other than religious and assault orientated.
