Encounter - Ankheg Attack

Encounter - Ankheg Attack

The small farming Village of Winslydale has been beset by a sudden infestation of Ankhegs. While the villagers themselves have little to offer as a reward for help except food and lodging the Viscount will be well pleased to hear of adventurers aiding his fold in time of need. 

The Village is Hommlet sized but lacks Rufus and Burne or any stone keep or tower. The people are all of the Old Faith but are attended by an old Ranger rather than a druid. The ranger, Corin, is originially from Furyondy but settled in the viscounty decades ago. He heads the local militia. The village boasts a small Inn, The Red Rooster.

So far only livestock have been killed but not all the farmers have abandoned their farms and Corin is worried that they will be the Ankhegs next meal. A patrol of six Verbobonc Lancers will arrive in the next two days and a scout-lancer with six more lancers will appear the day after that and deal with the situation if the players still have not dispathed the Ankhegs.
