Denizens of the Vastwood: Episode 4 of The Keeper of the Dead Saga
Greetings, Geeks!
Have you been anxiously awaiting the next chapter in our journey? Wait no longer, dear adventurer! Episode 4 of our adventure takes our traveling band of would-be heroes deeper into the darkness of the Vastwood. We encounter more than a few dangerous creatures in this leg of our journey. Episode 3 – Perils of the Gartooth Swamp – saw our first fight so we pick up this episode amidst the fallout from that fight. The denizens of Vastwood are less than welcoming.
Each of our characters reacts differently to the fallout from the fight and taking the next step forward as we search for the trinket that set us on this path.
