I'm gearing up for a new campaign. I'll be using Savage Worlds as my rule system this time since I want to straddle the line between skirmish wargame and roleplay more than usual.

I'm gearing up for a new campaign. I'll be using Savage Worlds as my rule system this time since I want to straddle the line between skirmish wargame and roleplay more than usual.

The basic setup is that Ulric Swiftwing, a young druid, is set on a course to avenge his village, which was destroyed by a reaver clan raiders when he was very young. His primary inner conflict is the pull between the call of the Deeppwood and the call for blood justice.

His antagonist is Cara Ragnarkin, the ruthless daughter of a reaver clan chief. Tradition denies her the right to succeed her father, but her ambition won't let her take on a lesser roll. She has struck out on her own with a small band. She seeks riches beyond the sea coasts that her people have prowled for generations.

Both are drawn to the small town of Hurah. It does a decent trade with it's inn and lumber mill. It also has the only Temple Divine for many miles. Yet it has failed to grow into a greater town or even city, in part because of the strange occurrences that plague the town's history.

The supernatural rumors have drawn Ulric who thinks he may find the key to unleashing vengeance upon his sworn foes. Cara has come to see if there may be relics of power that, once claimed, could give her the might she needs to change history and become the first woman to chief the clan.

I've setup of the first encounter. Ulric has discovered that a hermit witch lives in the woods beyond the town. Cars has also heard the rumors. Both seek her knowledge of the abnormal events of the past, neither wishes the other to reach her first. But they must take some care, they are neither strong enough to take on their rival and am angry township which does not seek to be site of further upset.
