Refactoring My Brain

This session was played in mid-March. Prior to session 5, I had rolled a random encounter for the Monsterous Attercop Lair I had discovered in session 4, and discovered that it had "encountered" ( been encountered by? ) a group of a few Bandits. Actually I rolled "Brigands" but when I when went to play out a quick battle, I misremembered what I had rolled, and looked up the stats for Bandits. At any rate, I made a few quick rolls to determine that the Bandits were easily overwhelmed.

With the ACKS market limitations, there are limited quantities of healing herbs available in this market in any given month, but adding a new PC who already has healing herbs in their starting template... well, that's one way to circumvent the market limitations. The party travels to the shrine without an encounter. They avoid the Attercops ( aka Ettercaps ) lairing in their previous campsite, and spend the night at an alternate campsite witho
