e Hunting and You

The quests in this supplement are referred to as Hunts. Each
hunt begins with a short bounty, rumor or plot hook you can
provide to your players. The hunts in this book have been
pl
kept short, simple and often don't provide maps or complex
details unless they add something to the overall hunt. This
allows you to quickly tweak the hunt on the fly to suit your
campaign while staying within the hunt's structure.

The Hunt Layout

Each hunt lists a hunt title, the noted bounty, rumor or plot
m

hook description that can be read to players, the average

party level (APL) and expected difficulty based on party
size, the quest creature, a brief summary of the hunt itself,
and 4 different stages that act as guidelines for the hunt
progression.

Hunt Stages
Hunts are divided into 4 stages: Meeting the NPCs,
Sa

Exploration, The Hunt, and Completion.

Stage 1: Meeting the NPCs. This section begins the hunt,
introduces any notable NPCs the characters should need to
speak with, and gives the characters the opportunity to learn
more about the hunt itself.
Stage 2: Exploration. This section offers the characters the
opportunity to search for clues that could aid them later
in the hunt.
Stage 3: The Hunt. This section details the creature
encounter, and notes any particular tactics the creature might
have, such as targeting a particular character first, or having
an aversion to fire.
Stage 4: Completion. This stage deals with the aftermath of
the hunt. Here you can find options for looting a creature's
lair and any rewards NPCs provide once the characters
