I ran Shadows of Esteren for the first time last night. the system really is as simple as it appears, and combat is extremely deadly. The party(3 PCs) got the drop on a guy in a cave and killed him before he could react to defend himself. The PCs started in the town of Smarag, where they were tasked by their mentor with instigating rumors of children disappearing in a nearby village. Turned out one of the villagers had gone mad and was dressing up in wolf pelts, killing the local livestock as a cover for his kidnapping of the children, and then cooking and eating those children. He hid all the evidence in a nearby cave, where the party camped out and saw him enter his lair.
So to help me in the future I did a quick digitization of the original map so that I could know distances traveled on the roads, the result is below.
Great poost thanks
