## Plot

The campaign starts off the night after everyone has left camp besides our protagonists. As they sit around the camp fire hanging out; Nina pulls out a flask of alcohol she had snuck into camp and sends Dina and Brad to go get the rest of her stash. When they come back, Dina tells everyone a scary story of a crazed huntsman that preys on unsuspecting victims and turns their bodies into trophies and food. Just then, out of nowhere the group hears a gunshot. Leah, who is now buzzed and extremely paranoid then spots a man standing behind them. He lets out a creepy laugh before slowly coming closer.

Leah begins to scream and runs away in horror to the Nurse's Cabin. The others in shock hesitate to follow. As The Huntsman comes closer, Nina rushes towards Leah but falls into the lake needing the help of Jason to get out. Brad tries to grab Dina but can't get a good hold of her. The Huntsman then makes his way over to Dina and Brad; he slashes at Dina with a bowie knife and cuts her arm tendon. Brad is then able to put Dina over his shoulder and rushes towards Nina and Jason. He then is able to grab them but before they can leave, Nina chucks her flask at The Huntsman and hits him on the head; the flask then lands in the firepit causing to to burst up burning him and Dina. Brad then makes an escape to the Nurse's Cabin holding the three others. Seeing no sign of Leah anywhere, Brad kicks open to door to the cabin and rushes in with Nina and Jaon, with Dina staying outside and yelling at The Huntsman. He comes over to slash her again, but she kicks in the groin and curses him out. He then begins to walk off in search of Leah. The group now search the Nurse's Cabin for anything useful. Brad takes a small thing of pain relievers. Brad and Jason then decide they need to find Leah. Going over to the Main Cabin next door. Jason finds a first aid kit to fix up any of the more serious wound the group obtain.

Leah, now in the cabin she shared with Nina and Dina is looking for the keys to Nina's 4 Porsche 928, but her crying attracts the attention of The Huntsman. Trying to hide in the bed, Leah is able to calm herself down quite a bit, tricking The Huntsman for some time. Eventually, he spots her and using his knife he cuts her achilles tendon causing her to scream in immense pain. The Huntsman then disappears back into the woods for some time. The other's hear Leah's scream; Nina decides to run off on her own in the opposite way of the screams, while to other's go to her aid. Brad smashes a window to get to Leah quicker; Dina tries to follow but after cutting her leg on some of the glass, she falls into the shattered pieces left on the ground. Jason opts to take the door out and not the window.

Jason and Brad find Leah in a very bad condition while Dina goes to check on the car outside. Jason tends to Leah's wound and is able to stop the bleeding and Brad gives her medication for the pain. Dina then comes in seeing the car has enough room for all of them. Jason then tends to Dina's cut marks and burns. As the group goes back to get in the car, The Huntsman makes his reappearance.

Once the group is made aware of his presence, Leah locks herself in the car and huddles into the fetal position. Leaving Dina, Brad, and Jason all vulnerable to him. Jason and Brad scurry off towards the campfire, but Dina paralyzed in fear is grabbed by The Huntsman. Holding her by the hair, he chops off a good portion of it and throws her down on the ground. Dina then scratches his leg as he begins to walk towards the boys. The young men begin to panic and look for anything they can use against him resorting to throwing sticks and rocks at him. Dina then gets up and calls The Huntsman to her, she then throws her earring directly into his eye; giving Brad enough time to throw a large log at him and Jason to run off in search of Nina. The Huntsman then dissipates back into the woods.

Brad and Dina realizing they need a battery and gas for the car head off via canoe towards the garage at the entrance of camp. Dina and Brad search for anything they can use to fix the car in order for them to leave. They're able to find a battery, jerry can of gas, and a toolbox. They then worry about the if the boat will be able to carry them and the supplies and decide to walk along the shore back to camp with the canoe. Meanwhile Jason goes off towards his and Brad's cabin; he then finds Nina in a drunken slumber in Brad's bed. Jason tries to help Nina wake and sober up so they have better chances of survival, but Nina gets startled and slaps him very hard. Just as Nina starts to regain her consciousness, she sees The Huntsman staring at them through the window.

After spotting The Huntsman, Jason attempts to throw a fire extinguisher at him through the window. He succeeds in breaking the window but does no harm to The Huntsman. Nina then grabs one of the fire pokers and attempts to stab him but misses and it grazes Jason instead. The Huntsman then takes one of his knives and throws it at Nina hitting her in the arm. Then as Jason panics, Nina runs over to lock the door. The two then deicide to hide on either sides of the broken window; thinking The Huntsman will come in any minute the prepare to attack but unbeknownst to them, he walks off in search of another victim.

During the attack on Nina and Jason, Brad and Dina were able to make to the other side of the pond. As they being to approach the car carrying some of the supplies they hear a bloodcurdling scream come from Leah. They rush over towards her bringing the toolbox with them. When they come, Leah tells them The Huntsman came over and tried to smash the window to the car. Brad tries to reassure her, but Dina yells at her for letting The Huntsman crack the glass. Brad then goes to bring over the rest of the supplies and Dina stays back to protect and fix the car. Just as Brad gets back with the battery, The Huntsman reappears.

Immediately, Leah locks the car again leaving an unsuspecting Dina to die as The Huntsman approaches. As she's working on putting the new battery in, The Huntsman throws a small dagger at her, Dina quickly picks it up. Brad then back to the boat to grab the jerry can. As Dina continues to repair the car she has to fend herself off from The Huntsman until Brad returns. Having replaced the car's battery, Dina's new goal is the fuel the car but with The Huntsman right behind her, she has nowhere to go. She then tries to push him away from her as Brad searches for a weapon. As Dina is pushing The Huntsman, Leah then tries to throw a bottle of whiskey she found in Nina's car at him but it lands at Brad's feet. With The Huntsman now away from Dina, she makes her way for the jerry can of gas. As she makes her over there, The Huntsman throws a fishing line at Dina and it gets caught in her cheek. Brad then tries to pull it out of The Huntsman hand but ends up pulling too hard ripping the hook out of DIna's cheek. Dina is then able to get to gas tank but needs the keys to open it, after trying to intimidate Leah into giving the keys Dina gives up hope in getting the keys and throws the small dagger at him. As The Huntsman is distracted, Brad sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a wrench. The Huntsman then walks off.

With The Huntsman now gone, Leah gives Dina the keys to fill the gas tank. The car now repaired, drunken Jason and Nina now stumble over. Nina now extremely wasted and concussed after falling out a window and landing on a fire extinguisher, threatens Leah to let her drive them to safety. Seeing her in such a bad condition, Leah just turns the car on saying she'll drive them all. Everyone piles into the car and Leah begins to start driving.

They're able to make it pass the Main Cabin but as they get to the curve in the pond, Leah gets the car stuck in the mire; forcing Brad to go out and push the car out. Eventually they all make towards the entrance of the camp and The Huntsman reappears but he fails to slash the tire. This leaves the teens able to get out and survive the Butchering at Elk Creek Camp.
