Huntsman Side Quest One

Tactical Gear

You have set aside some fairy gold to get yourself a new outfit for trekking the wilderness. 

Design a new outfit for your character that would protect them in a form of extreme weather - maybe heat resistant clothing for a volcanic area or desert, warm clothing for a snowy environment, respiratory equipment for a hallucinatory forest, clothing that protects the wearer from stinging bugs in a swamp or jungle environment, etc.

Huntsman Side Quest Two

Hallowed Ground

⚠️Characters must be level 2 to complete this mission!⚠️

An area of wilderness you hold dear has become cursed. The land is blighted, with local plantlife rotting and dying, and local wildlife very sick. You will need to lift the curse, and quickly. Destroy any dark objects nearby causing the curse like black poppets, dead things left in water sources, witch bottles, knotted cords, cursed magical items, black stones, and weeping paintings. Watch out for poisonous fog, peat fires and hallucinations. The source of the curse will drain your energy the closer you get to it, but you must battle through and lift the blight to heal the land.

Draw or write about your character trying to remove a curse from an area.

Rewards:

Huntsman Side Quest Three

Scouting Party

⚠️Characters must be level 2 to complete this mission!⚠️

A group of scholars have asked for an escort to a remote part of Folkland, so they can peacefully study the area and take back information to their university. If they are to survive the trip and get back in one piece, they will need your expertise. Show them how to find food and water, how to hunt, how to build shelters and most importantly, how to respect nature so it doesn’t bite back against you.

Draw or write about your character escorting the scholars through the wilderness to their destination. Does it go smoothly, or do you encounter any hazards on the way? What is the destination they would risk danger to study?

Huntsman Side Quest Seven

Wildcrafting

A herbalist has asked you to find a rare medicinal herb for them, called “Wild Fairywand”, and they will pay handsomely. Wildcrafting - the act of foraging for edible food and medicinal herbs in the environment, is a crucial skill for any huntsman worth their leathers. The plant itself looks like any other and may be hard to identify. Come to think of it, it looks quite similar to the toxic giant hogweed, or the poisonous water hemlock. Oh dear, this could be more difficult than you thought…
Roll a d6 dice to see how you do!

Note: If you recruit another huntsman to help (either by drawing another huntsman in your quest or doing a collab with another member of Folkland), roll with advantage (roll twice and use the higher roll)!

If you rolled a 1: You thought you found the rare Wild Fairywand, but it turned out to be a flowering poison nettle. Too bad - your skin is covered in hives and you turn green and get very sick. Is there any peppermint nearby for a healing tea?

If you rolled a 2-3: You find a plant that resembles the Wild Fairywand, but upon closer inspection, it’s a Basilisk Vine – useful for brewing salves, but definitely not what the herbalist needs. Still, the herb can be useful for crafting and the herbalist agrees to pay a portion of the fee for the Basilisk Vine.

If you rolled a 4-5: You find the Wild Fairywand hidden among the underbrush, just as the herbalist described. Its delicate white flowers glow faintly in the dim light. You carefully harvest the plant with no trouble, and it seems to be in perfect condition.

If you rolled a 6: You find an abundance of Wild Fairywand and carefully harvest it, ensuring no damage is done to the plant. As you admire your success, you notice something glinting in the roots… You retain a Wild Fairywand stalk for yourself, and find +25 fairy gold buried in the soil of one of the plants.

Huntsman Side Quest Eight

Emissary of the Wild

You are sent on a diplomatic mission to make offerings to a sacred site in Folkland and commune with the locals. What is the sacred site - a fairy well, a rowan tree, a glen? Who are the locals that attend the site? What offerings do you make?

Draw or write about your character making offerings at a sacred site.

Rewards:

Huntsman Side Quest Nine

The Fae-Eating Barbed Vinecup

You’ve stumbled across an injured animal or fae creature caught in a carnivorous plant! The plant has captured the creature using its long vines, which are currently constricting the poor thing, stopping them from escaping or fighting back. When you approach the plant, it constricts tighter around the creature. What do you do?

DM the founder Isi (isi.a) on discord with 2 sentences on what your character does to disarm the plant trap and free the fae creature trapped in the vines. They can use spells, items in their inventory, and equipped weapons, as well as things that would be nearby: water from the river, sharp stones, vines, grass, sticks.

If you have already solved the predicament, roll 1d6:

If you rolled a 1: You can’t figure it out 

If you rolled a 2-3: You succeed but at a high cost (or only partially succeed)

If you rolled a 4-5: You succeed 

If you rolled a 6: You succeed wildly!

Rewards:
