The main road out is to the southeast; however, that's also where the mob of villagers is likely to be looking around for you. To the south you see a dense thicket in the middle of the village; it'll be easy to avoid detection there, but it looks like it would be pretty rough going.// ||| | | //Stacked barrels, old wells, and unattended carts provide plenty of hiding places to dart between as you sneak through the village.

You're positive that no voices are reaching your ears; it seems the statue is agitated, perhaps with your continued success at taking it away from its new home. To the east is the bridge crossing the river leading out of Whisperwind toward your destination; however, it's securely guarded. Sneaking across without first taking care of those guards in some manner wouldn't be possible. You could brave the river itself, but the cold, rushing mountain waters will be difficult to traverse.// ||| | | //You hear low whispers in the back of your mind as you reach the edge of the village.

| It's also assumed that the PCs must exit the village in one particular direction. In this case, it's because Whisperwind is a mountain village, and only one path leads toward the PCs' destination. If that doesn't work for you, add other paths away from the village center with a similar set of Challenges ready to thwart PCs that attempt that route. You could reuse the same Challenge set with some altered descriptions if you want to save yourself some work, or you could detail various routes and explain them to the PCs (at least to the degree of what their characters know) to let them choose which they prefer. Save whatever paths they don't take to reuse in future scenarios. | It's also assumed that the PCs must exit the village in one particular direction.

| + | Your PCs might be running from something other than a village mob. City guards will likely be better prepared, so you can use Trained Guards in place of Bored Guards (but fewer of them). A criminal organization likely won't need many changes, but monstrous pursuers might include beasts best represented with a [[analects_book_4_part_2_chapter_2#guard_dog|Guard Dog]]. | ||
