Kieran's Pile of Leaflets #1

(In Kieran's pack you find an assortment of documents, papers, and booklets. They seem to have been collected from numerous sources; some of the paper look like official documents, while other seem to be leaflets and newsletters from different towns and cities.)

(Flipping through the pile, you see a small flier notifying an event in the town of Zelbross. It seems to be a few months old but kept in a good condition. There are some scribbles on the bottom.)

Greetings from the Mayor of Zelbross

As is tradition, this month is our annual Challenge Hunt!!!!

As you may know, at this time of year the base of the Star Mounts

overflows with many nuisances to our daily lives so, in order to combat

the ever-increasing danger, we have created this tournament for passing

adventurers, guards, soldiers, and other such daredevils.

For the 16th annual Challenge Hunt we have a list of desired targets:

Forest Wolves

Bears (Brown or Black)

Goblins

Hobgoblins

Orcs

Bugbears

and for the truly daring. . .

Ogres

The contest will start on 1 Kythorn and end on 1 Flamerule

Your party will be judged on the amount of points you earn

and they are as follows:

                                  Wolf:    Regular - 1 pt.    Dire - 3 pts.

                                  Bear:     Black - 3 pts.     Brown - 5 pts.

                                  Goblin: Regular - 2 pts.   Hobgoblin - 4 pts.

                                  Orc  -  3 pts.

                                  Bugbear  -  4 pts.

                                  Ogre  -   10 PTS. !!!!!!

As always, you will earn points by bringing us proof of you victories

creature (for ogres you must bring the tusks as proof)

This seems promising. Nice prizes, not too tough competition. Need to make sure to mention this to the group. If we ever pass through make sure to convince the others to try it.
