Sweet Child, Old Mine – Agents of B.E.A.R.D. 002

Assignment

You’ll be sent through Copper Crossing, to meet with a farmer who sent his two sons off into the hills to go hunting. One was 8, the other 16. The youngest had just reached adulthood and this was his first adventure out without his parents around. Unfortunately, neither has come back. They headed out in the morning, didn’t return by nightfall, and it was reported the next morning. They fear the worst, but hope you can return both back home safely.

Reward: Each will receive 50gp (10gp total from the lower class farmer, the rest from the guild), a health potion, and a few days of rations from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Mission Summary

• Party traveled to Copper Crossing and spoke with the father of the missing children. Got a few more details, but it was obvious he was overcome with emotions, so they didn’t get much.
• They traveled up north along the river, per a hand drawn map they received from the father, to a camp site. There, they found some belongings of the two sons. They ventured east across the river after finding a trail, which lead them to a sheer mountain cliff. Throughout their journey, they found markings on trees from what could only be imagined as a large creature.
• They climbed the mountain, entered into the cave, and found a dead kobold, one of the sons unconscious, and the large creature: a troll. Taking out the troll, they found the other son, who had been saved from the troll by a tribe of Kobolds. After negotiations, they released the son and both were returned home safe and sound.
