Fluffy Forest Creatures


So it's time to put some beasties into the Lost Tower section of the appearance chart.

Natives will arrive later, but for now we note that the following dwellings will be placed:

Stink F : Hovel
Smoke F: Lodge

New Monsters, these ought to be green to match the existing Wood monsters. Medium Bear/Boar counters might be Brown to note them as Elusive

Medium Boar:   M4 / 3,  H*3 / 2 : Medium, F1 N1  Elusive
Heavy Boar:      H4 / 3,  H**3 / 3 : Heavy, F5 N5   Elusive

Medium Bear:   M4 / 5,  H5 / 4 : Medium, F0 N1  Elusive
Heavy Bear:      H4 / 5,  T5 / 4 : Heavy, F4 N4   Elusive

Medium Spider:  L4 / 2,  H4 / 4 : Medium, F1 N1 

Elusive monsters are considered Hidden when they first appear and become Hidden again at Midnight everyday. In combat they become unhidden only if targetted and are considered "watchful". They never block characters when hidden, but may be blocked and forced unhidden by characters who found hidden enemies. Place dark side up when hidden - they remain on their hidden/unhidden side when combat in their clearing begins.

Forests now have monsters which the characters may choose to avoid, but I also wish them to be a little tougher than Woods. I have made Forests differ from Woods in that there are multiple stacks of monsters for a given monster roll and that these cover more than one Forest:

MR
2   Dank F:                  [ 2 Vipers ]  [ 2 Vipers ]
3   Ruins F, Bones F :  [ 6 Wolves ] [ 6 Wolves ]  Dank F [ 2 Medium Boar ] [ 1 Heavy Boar ]
4   Bones F :               [ 2 Medium Bear ] [ 1 Heavy Bear ] 
5   Dank F, Ruins F :   [2 Medium Spider] [ 2 Medium Spider ]

It looks, now, as if, there will be Tremendous Boar, Bear, Wolf amongst the treasure sites in the bleak lands.
