walkway would all be considered a
difficult environment.
Hazardous Environment
Much like a difficult environment, a
hazardous environment stops the
character from using a sprint action,
however, it also requires a 4TN check
pass through. In certain circumstances,
the check could be made using any of
the attributes but most of the time a
toughness check will be appropriate. If
the check is failed the character loses a
wound level. Being in water, lava, a
poison gas cloud or space would all be
considered a hazardous environment.

Combat Encounter
When the combat begins, have the
brigands positioned at medium range
from the players. They approach as a
group, led by the Brigand Boss. Use at
least two brigands for each player
character. Although the scenario is
designed to test out the combat
mechanics, the players may attempt to
sneak, distract or negotiate. The GM
should encourage this; as long as you are
having fun, you are doing it right!
CONCLUSION
After the fight, should the players
survive, they may take a short rest in one
of the abandoned buildings, to
experience the resting mechanics. Then,
as the blood of the vanquished soaks into
the muddy ground, howls can be heard
coming from the woods.
