The Combe Forester Event

Introduction

The Combe Forester Event is a special event held every 2 weeks.

This inaugural event takes place in the sleepy town of Combe at the Lumberyard overseen by Mason Thorne and Old Bauman. The two elder forester’s children have an enterprising idea they wish to offer to the denizens of Bree. A contest of forestry!

Foresters from all over have the chance to test their skill against one another in feats of might – hewing wood and carrying cabers – feats of agility – skinning beasts and curing hides – and feats of determined will and a strong stomach – a game of carry the caber after imbibing a local brew!
