C. The Lion’s Lair

There are three main ways that the PCs might advance
to the final battle in encounter C1. First, a PC who
succeeds at a DC 15 Survival check to Track can follow
the leopards or lions to their lair. The PC gains a +1
circumstance bonus to this check if the felines have killed

a goblin and escaped with its body, or a +2 circumstance

bonus if a member of the party succeeded at a Nature
check to Recall Knowledge regarding where the felines
might be hiding.
Critical Success: The PC learns the location of the lair as well
as the number of leopards or lions dwelling there.
Success: The PC learns the location of the lair.
Failure: The PC doesn’t learn the location of the lair.
Critical Failure: The PC travels far off course and
becomes fatigued for the rest of the day.
Second, if the PCs successfully defend the camp
for two raids resulting in no goblin deaths and kill one
of the felines, then the primary antagonist decides to
attack the goblin camp directly. Instead of encounter
B1, the next night raid instead includes all of creatures
that would normally be found in encounter C1 and the
encounter occurs on the map used for encounter B1.
The third way the PCs can trigger the final encounter
is by taking some sort of drastic action that forces the
primary antagonist’s hand. Examples of such actions
include starting a brush fire to flush out all the wildlife
in the area or finding a way to divert the river and flood
the feline’s cave, or any other action that would have
negative consequences for the primary antagonist. In this
Zig, Expedition Leader situation, the primary antagonist attacks the camp, as
described above.

Adventure Summary

After a grueling trek through the deserts of Katapesh, you were welcomed into the warm and worrisome comfort of a goblin attack
besieged by great cats and other occupants of the Katapeshi wastes. After defeating the ▫possessed cat / ▫ halfling druid / ▫ angry
awakened lion riling the creatures of Katapesh to violence, peace has begun to return to the region once more and the flow of trade has
begun to resume.

Boons
▫ ▫ ▫ Big Game Hunter (General): Your struggles against the fearsome wildlife of Katapesh and the being
manipulating the creatures has made you particularly good at dealing with dangerous animals. Whenever you roll a
critical failure on a check to Track an animal, you can check a box next to this boon to get a failure instead.
