Rotten Beasts
DC 20

- 1
The cursed Bald Hilltop makes its presence felt once more. Maddened forest beasts, horribly warped by magical putrescence, are emerging from the forests and attacking our peasants and travelers. These attacks have already disrupted trade and damaged the harvest. — If they are allowed to continue, the consequences will be dire.

| 0 | The Regent's decision to wait out the attacks has had terrible consequences. In a bloody massacre, the man-eating creatures annihilated the population of a whole village on the forest's edge. If nothing is done, the same fate undoubtedly awaits other settlements! |
| 1 | The Regent's servants arrived in the settlements beset by man-eating animals, but were met with distrust and paranoia. The locals, tired of waiting for help from the crown, now choose to lock themselves in isolation and pray for a speedy salvation. |
| 5 | The Regent's servants arrived in the settlements under siege from the man-eating animals and started organizing hunting parties. Well-trained and heavily-armed teams drove off the man eaters, then tracked them into the woods to ensure that none survived. |

| 0 | The General's soldiers expected ordinary predators, and were unprepared for beasts to be so insidious and cunning. The ravenous animals attacked them under cover of darkness, dividing their teams and killing the warriors one by one. The death toll continues to rise. |
| 1 | The General's soldiers failed to track down the cunning bests in the woods, giving them free reign to continue attacking the locals. |
| 5 | The General's soldiers decided to keep out of the tangled thicket, which was the beasts' home turf, and instead strengthened the most severely affected settlements, and prepared ambushes to trap the creatures. The stratagem worked: the man-eating animals met with armed townsfolk on their next hunt! |

| 0 | The Treasurer offered a reward for the heads of the man-eating animals, but was overwhelmed with hunters attempting to scam money for the heads of ordinary wolves and bears. While the servants of the crown waste their time with swindlers, the twisted beasts continue to drag new victims into the woods. |
| 1 | The Treasurer hired a band of ordinary hunters, but the twisted man-eating animals outmatched them in the woods. The hunters fled in terror, allowing the thinning of the local population to continue. |
| 5 | The Treasurer invested in a team of skilled hunters, equipped with powerful magical traps and weapons. In under two days, most of the man-eaters had been exterminated. The remaining beasts are cowering in the woods, where they continue to be hunted down and slaughtered. |
