Unbalanced Encounters: Rally Unbalanced Encounters

What do you get when you take a remote logging village and plague it with a string of bad luck until it hits rock bottom bottom? Rally. Join Isaac, Harisa, June, and Guard as they bumble their way through waning trees, doubling demands, and, finally, a broken millstone. Oh, and the damn boar got out again. It seems something has spooked them. Can our heroes mend the pieces of their fractured community and find out what’s behind all of these misfortunes? Probably not.

The Minehead boys have come to Rally to gamble a new millstone. Their champion, Big Paul, will wrestle Guard. And in all likelihood, win. Will Harisa’s plan to get Big Paul blind drunk give Guard the edge — or backfire horribly? And what of the mysterious sandal prints? Is anyone still worried about those? Probably not.

All hell has broken loose in Rally — the boar are running amuck, the Minehead boys want revenge, and June has spotted the sandal man. When the dust settles, will Isaac be able to keep his people together and get Sherwood to build him a new millstone? Probably not.

With the Minehead boys working on the millstone, our heroes venture into the woods in hopes of finding an elderwood copse they can actually harvest. But will they be ready to face the vicious creatures lurking in the trees, plotting their downfall at every turn? Probably not.

After a fitful and potentially-prophetic night, our heroes finally arrive at their first elderwood grove in months. But someone is watching from the treetops. Red robes, wooden sandals. And a boarish attitude. Will our heroes hear him out? Will they even survive? Probably not.

Isaac, Guard, Harisa, and June — each life entwined with the forest in a unique way. But with the Empressar’s scepter dangling overhead, will they take up the mantle of the Western Weald’s defense? Probably not.
