The Adventures of Link and Gwalchmai begin with the earily quiet abandoned village.
A Ranger had been sent to investigate but never returned so our two heroes and their companions are sent to investigate.
The heroes rushed towards the clue tokens whilst the companions attempted to deal with rapidly arriving Zombies and Giant Rats.
Gwalchmai found a healing potion and raced towards two clue tokens, one locked in a house, whilst his loyal Panther held off the foes.
Link also attacked the Giant Bats and Zombies supported by his Warhound and Recruit. His man at arms attempted to hold off the Zombies arriving from the rear. He took heavy hits and then when he investigated a clue token he was ambushed by another zombie and reduced down to 1 hit point. The rescued survivor rushed to help him but was dispatched and Gwalchmai’s swordsman soon suffered a similar fate. Eventually Man at Arms was able to defeat the Zombie with help from the returning Panther, Warhound and Recruit.
Having solved all the clues, finding a magic sword and narrowly avoiding a collapsing building our two heroes headed back to the group, using their bows to dispatch any pursuing rats.
They eventually held off the horde for the required time having found all the clues but had failed to solve the riddle of the bite marks or tracks. Claiming victory they each received 77 xp but Swordsman had an infected wound and nasty fever from his wounds received in the fight with the ambushing zombie.
On next to the Spiders…
