Guz enjoys taunting and humiliating Finethir.

Guz thinks Noke is the Steve Jobs of turning things into other things. Guz has no personal quarrel with the PCs, but will consider them enemies if they side with Finethir. Finethir would continually ridicule Guz's artistic failures. His art is awful - like, just so goddamn bad - but Noke always encourages him. He carries a paint-flecked key to his studio in one of the buildings at Noke's place. Guz is a handyman, groundsman, bodyguard and artist. While with the party in combat, Finethir always acts on initiative count 1 and asks the nearest player character what to do.ДЇinethir considers the PCs expendable and always encourages violence against Noke.ДЇinethir thinks Noke is a talentless hack. He had a reputation for being prickly about who he dealt with. Of the three sheep in that Simpsons episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian, Finethir is the cutest one wearing a pink bow and jingly bell.ДЇinethir is presumed dead by the world at large. He will promise PCs anything to do this, regardless of whether he can actually follow through.ДЇinethir has the self-obsessed and arrogant attitude of a master wizard, but his sheep form is adorable. This is to encourage creative play and skew the players' chances of success during A Wild Sheep Chase's final Arcana check with the wand.ДЇinethir the arrogant sheep. Most tasks are DC10, though some difficult tasks go up to DC12. This is to offset the extra relative damage they'd be taking and keep the squishy idiots alive (those lovable rascals). New players tend to choose non-aggressive actions in combat like searching the room rather than fighting, so I give newbies an investigation check to find a healing potion where appropriate. If a decision can't be reached, have an NPC give them a name during the session.Дon't punish bad tactics.

Work out PC relations in a 10-minute pow-wow before the game. I've adjusted the combat encounters for 1st level characters by following some advice from Luke at DM For Hire. I've changed a few things about A Wild Sheep Chase here - this is not a criticism of the original text, just a reflection of my style.ДЄlthough A Wild Sheep Chase is designed for second tier characters, I think its themes and simplicity make it a perfect 1st level adventure for new players. Whenever you're playing from a book, find a way to make it appropriate for your table and bend the story to your style.

The first time I ran A Wild Sheep Chase by Winghorn Press, we finished on a black-and-white freeze frame of our monk firing his stunning strike at a naked wizard's junk, yelling: 'Nobody double-crosses The Cursed Boys!' It was good for me and (by golly) I reckon it could be good for you too.ДЄny prewritten adventure is tone-deaf to the needs of your group. There's an original handout for the sheep's spell scroll there, too. Here's a write-up of the video taken from my blog. This is a long one, sorry! But if you stick with it, I'm working hard out here and I think it's worth it.ДЄ Wild Sheep Chase was written by Winghorn Press and you can totally get it for free. I reckon this video I made is a useful resource for running the adventure.
