## Little Red Riding Hood

Making your way through the woodlands, you hear the cries of a child!

* 1. Ignore and go the other way!
* 2. Investigate
You get in closer and see a young girl, maybe 10 years old, huddled among the bushes, surrounded by growling wolves! When the wolves smell you they howl and run off!

* 1. Check if the girl is ok
The child gets up and walks over to you. She is wearing a long rusty red coat and has two thick plaits sticking out from under the hood: 'Thank you! Thank you stranger! But now you must go and save my grandma, oh please go and save her!'

* 1. 'Hold on a second, what grandma, what are you talking about?'
(Same as next option 'Just calm down...')
* 2. 'Just calm down. Tell me what happened here?'
'My grannie, she lives far in the woods. I was there and the wolves came and she told me to run! But now you must go and save her!'

* 1. 'Not interested in grandmothers, you're coming with us child!'

* 1. [Fight] (3-skulls) *(Werewolf)*

* +1 Animal Kinship for 1 party member

* 2. 'Alright, lead the way!'
The girl leads you to a solitary hut deep within these dark woods. An older woman appears at the door before you even knock. There are no signs of fighting, or wolves, although you do see wolf tracks leading in and out of this place. The woman speaks: 'Keep your distance! I dislike people and the feeling proves mutual on most occasions. Did my unwavering grandchild lead you here?'

* 1. 'Yes, she said you were in trouble.'
You turn to the point at the girl, but notice she is gone. The woman frowns and shakes her head: 'Stupid child, so stubborn, so wild. You should leave here, for I cannot hold myself calm this night!' Suddenly you're very aware of the red, full moon, shining above your heads...

* 1. 'Where is she and what's going on here?'
The old woman grabs her stomach in a sudden convulsion of pain. When she straightens again, her face is twisted and when she speaks, it's through a tightened jaw: 'She is away, of course, the sniveling cowardly pup that she is. She'll bring me gifts, every full moon, she'll torment me, never let me stow away the beast! But she never stays, afraid of my true anger.. I was the one who killed her parents, not intentionally, nevertheless, they followed me and died and the child does not forgive.'

* 1. 'You speak in riddles woman! What beast? What gifts does she bring you?'
'Why you, of course! You are my sick gifts. Every full moon I lock myself here, warded against me leaving the circle, but she will not let me be! I am an ancient beast, a huntress of the night, a Werewolf if you must know. But, I have sworn off killing and bloodshed! Yet, my primal urges cannot be tamed at full moon, only here can i stay safe. But when she brings me people...'

* 1. Take out your weapons! 'Right, stay back, beast!'
* 2. Attack! [Fight] (4-skull)

* Weapon, trinket, Enchanted bone
* +2 Animal Kinship for 1 party member
* +1 Folklore for 1 party member
* +6 XP, +1 RP

* 3. 'Alright, and yet here we stand, not eaten? Why?'
'I prepared myself this time. I brought silver and elder flower cordial and it slows my transformation. It pains me beyond words and I cannot ever do it myself... yet something needs doing. My pup will only grow wilder and more bloodthirsty. You must hunt her down and kill her! I will even give you an amulet, so you can track her easier. Just please, do it quick...'

* 1. 'Alright, we will do it.'
The woman nods and tears run down her cheeks as she hands you a small, ivory amulet, with an arrow always pointing in one direction: 'Here is the amulet and my blessing upon you. Now go, for I feel my change coming and you must not stay here!'

* Bless of Dexterity (15 turns), +2 Traps for 2 party members *(This seems to go to characters who already have Traps, or maybe Hunters first)*

* 1. Begin the hunt! [Hunting] (2-skulls)
You track down the girl and her fledgling pack of wolves. You are able to shoot them down before they even realize they've been spotted.

'There is none and time is running short now. You will do as you like. But leave now!'

* 1. 'Alright, we will do it.'

* *(See similar dialogue option above)*

* 2. 'Sure we will kill the little brat and you as well!' Attack! [Fight] (4 skull)

* *(See similar dialogue option above)*

* 3. 'No, it is your problem!'

## Mud Troll
