Mist Taken
A One-Round D&D® LIVING GREYHAWKTM
Keoland Regional Adventure
Version 2.1

by Jonathan Knapp
Reviewer: Keoland Triad Circle Reviewer: Steven Conforti
The union of two dwarven clans is a momentous occasion, as rare as a precious diamond. This is made
even more precious when the union can also serve to bring two countries together in time of need. So the
wedding of a prominent clan of dwarves from the Principality of Ulek to the dwarves of Clan Stonecrow
carries a special weight. However, there are those who want to see this wedding fail, and those who
delight in simple slaughter. The real trick is determining who is who.
A terror of the night once thought defeated rises again to threaten the community of Curget in the Good
Hills of Keoland. A Keoland regional adventure for APLs 2-12

Note: This adventure will be of particular interest to Clan Stonecrow.

Any force on the move, whether it’s an army or an adventuring group, needs information about what’s
ahead and what’s behind and, more important, time to prepare for battle. A scout can navigate difficult
terrain at good speed, and she specializes in seeing her foe before the opponent detects her presence. In
a dungeon or in the wild, a scout is seen only when she wants to be.
Adventures: Scouts adventure for numerous reasons. Many have a role in a military organization.
Whether serving as outriders for a large army or as foresters for a small border fort, these scouts venture
into the wilderness under orders. Although more common than other scouts, those attached to the military
are unlikely to have the time or permission necessary to undertake regular adventures. Instead,
adventuring scouts come from rural villages, having honed their skills over a lifetime of wandering the
woods. Others have left their military service behind and find themselves attracted to the adventuring
lifestyle. Many adventuring scouts begin their careers as guides hired to lead other adventurers through
the wilderness. Those who find the excitement and challenge of adventuring to their taste then seek out a
group of their own.
Characteristics: A scout has some training in weapons and a unique combat style that favors fast
movement and devastating attacks. She excels in performing during running battles, which allow her to
maximize her special fighting techniques and high movement rate. Although a scout can hold her own in
a fight she’s at her best before combat begins, when she can use her powers of stealth and observation
to find an enemy and give her companions accurate information about what they face. The scout is a

KEO7-2 Mist Taken Page 29

backcountry expert, exceeding even the ranger’s ability to navigate rough terrain and lead a group of
companions through the wilderness.
The scout also excels in a dungeon environment, and she can find and disable traps as well as any
rogue. As a scout advances in level, her senses become amazingly acute, and she can eventually
operate normally even in total darkness
Alignment: Scouts can be of any alignment, and a scout’s alignment is often shaped more by her
personal background than from any training. The notable exceptions to this are the many scouts who
receive their training in a military organization – such scouts are carefully and rigorously taught, and are
almost always lawful in alignment. Outside of military organizations, more scouts are neutral than any
other alignment, but every alignment and philosophy is represented within the class.
Religion: Scouts have varied and individual takes on religion, and no single religion stands out as typical
of the class. Scouts occasionally pay homage to deities of nature, but these devotions are more a
personal choice on the part of an individual than any outgrowth of their training. Scouts don’t see nature
as a force in its own right, and this belief is one of the most profound differences between the scout and
the ranger classes. Where the ranger sees nature as something to be revered and protected, the scout
sees it as the terrain over which she must do her job. Although a scout might love nature for its beauty or
for the solitude she can find within it, she’ll never draw power from nature the way a ranger does.
Background: Many scouts receive military training and serve for a time as outriders for an army. They
perfect their techniques while trying to spot and hide from large groups of foes. The crucible of military
service turns out tough, independent scouts accustomed to working on their own or in small groups. Such
steady individuals make great additions to adventuring parties, and their expertise is often sought by
members of other classes. Other scouts come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Some train with
foresters and rangers serving a rural lord, and others simply grow up among the common folk of the
countryside, spending month after month exploring the wild in their leisure time. Scouts from such verse
backgrounds often take up adventuring to leave their home communities behind. Having exhausted the
potential for exploration in their home region, they seek wider variety of experience and wish to see a
broader portion of the world.
Races: Humans make excellent scouts. Their adaptable nature allows them to perfect a wider variety of
skills than most other races, and they make good use of the scout’s many abilities. Elves and halflings
are the most naturally gifted scouts; both races have produced nimble scouts with amazing abilities of
stealth and observation. While halflings have more innate talent for sneaking than elves do, the greater
speed of elf scouts gives them advantages of their own. Dwarves and gnomes make respectable
underground scouts, and the scout’s bonuses to speed offset one of these races’ greatest weaknesses.
Combined with the dwarves knack for operating in areas of earth and stone, scout training can._ urn
dwarves into impressive underground explorers—although most dwarves prefer a more straight-forward
approach to combat and dislike the skirmish fighting style of the scout.
Other Classes: Scouts work well with members of almost any other class. Skilled and adaptable, they
thrive when they can complement a slower and louder group of adventurers or soldiers. Scouts move
ahead of such a group for brief periods, stealthily checking the next room or forest clearing for foes, and
then circling back again to ensure that enemies are not sneaking up on the group from behind. When
combat is joined, however, the group remains as a stable base to which a scout can fall back when
pressed. Clerics, wizards, and others willing cast spells that enhance a scout’s mobility make her job
easier and are welcome companions in combat as well.
Conversely, a scout also welcomes a group made up entirely of stealthy characters such as rogues,
rangers, ninjas, and fellow scouts. This group moves much more quietly than a normal adventuring party,
and it is seldom surprised.
Role: A scout plays several roles in most adventuring groups. First and foremost, a scout excels at
detecting an enemy or creature before being detected herself. Whether moving well ahead of the group
or guarding the rear, a scout is the character most likely to discover a potential threat and be ready to act
in combat. Serving as a backup melee combatant or ranged expert in battle, she provides support for the

KEO7-2 Mist Taken Page 30

more straightforward fighters in the group and confuses and distracts the enemy. A scout’s stealth and
trapfinding ability make her the natural choice for entering and searching dangerous areas.
GAME RULE INFORMATION
Scouts have the following game statistics.
Abilities: Dexterity helps scouts become stealthy and overcome their lack of access to heavy armor.
Wisdom also is important because it affects many skills, especially Spot and Listen, that most scouts
consider vital to their ability to survive in the wild and to detect enemies efficiently.
Alignment: Any. Scouts in military service are usually lawful.
Hit Die: d8.
Starting Gold: 5d4X10 gp.

CLASS SKILLS
A scout’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Sir), Craft (Int), Escape
Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int),
Knowledge (nature) (Int), Listen (Wis),Move Silently (Dex), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Speak Language
(n/a), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim. (Str), Tumble (Dex), and Use Rope (Dex).
Skill Points at 1st Level: (8 + Int modifier) x 4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 8 + Int modifier.

CLASS FEATURES
All of the following are class features of the scout.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Scouts are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the handaxe,
throwing axe, short sword, and shortbow. Scouts are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Skirmish (Ex): A scout relies on mobility to deal extra damage and improve her defense. She deals an
extra 1d6 points of damage on all attacks she makes during any round in which she moves at least 10
feet. The extra damage applies only to attacks taken during the scout’s turn. This extra damage increases
by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).
The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead,
constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits
are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick
out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged
attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.
At 3rd level, a scout gains a +1 competence bonus to Armor Class during any round in which she moves
at least 10 feet. The bonus applies as soon as the scout has moved 10 feet, and lasts until the start of her
next turn. This bonus improves by 1 for every four levels gained above 3rd (+2 at 7th, +3 at 11th, +4 at
15th, and +5 at 19th level).
A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy
load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.
Trapfinding (Ex): A scout can use the Search skill to locate traps with a DC higher than 20, and she can
use Disable Device to bypass a trap or disarm magic traps. See the rogue class feature, page 50 of the
Player’s Handbook.
Battle Fortitude (Ex): At 2nd level, a scout gains a ÷1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves and
initiative checks. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 20th level. A scout loses this bonus
when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.

KEO7-2 Mist Taken Page 31

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a scout cannot be caught flat-footed and reacts to danger
before her senses would normally allow her to do so. See the barbarian class feature, page 26 of the
Player’s Handbook.
Fast Movement (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a scout’s gains a ÷10 foot enhancement bonus to her base
land speed. At 11th level, this bonus increases to ÷20 feet. See the monk class feature, page 41 of the
Player’s Handbook.
A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy
load.
Trackless Step (Ex): Beginning at 3rd level, a scout cannot be tracked in natural surroundings. See the
druid class feature, page 36 of the Player’s Handbook.
Bonus Feats: At 4th level and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level), a scout gains
a bonus feat, which must be selected from the following list: Acrobatic, Agile, Alertness, Athletic, Blind-
Fight, Brachiation†, Combat Expertise, Danger Sense†, Dodge, Endurance, Far Shot, Great Fortitude,
Hear the Unseen†, Improved Initiative, Improved Swimming†, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Mobility, Point
Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Quick Reconnoiter†, Rapid Reload, Shot on the Run, Skill Focus,
Spring Attack, Track. She must meet all the perquisites for the feat.
†
New feat described in Chapter 3.
Evasion (Ex): Beginning at 5th level, a scout can avoid damage from certain attacks with a successful
Reflex save. See the monk class feature, page 41 of the Player’s Handbook.
Flawless Stride (Ex): Starting at 6th level, a scout can move through any sort of terrain that slows
movement such as undergrowth, rubble, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking
damage or suffering any other impairment.
This ability does not let her move more quickly rough terrain that requires a Climb or Swim check to
navigate, nor can she move more quickly through terrain or undergrowth that has been magically
manipulated to impede motion.
A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy
load.
Camouflage (Ex): Beginning at 8th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in any sort of natural terrain. See
the ranger class feature, page 48 of the Player’s Handbook. She loses this benefit when wearing medium
or heavy armor hen carrying a medium or heavy load.
Blindsense (Ex): At 10th level, a scout gains the Blindsense ability out to 30 feet. This ability functions as
described on page 306 of the Monster Manual.
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): Beginning at 14th level, a scout can use the Hide skill in natural terrain even
while being observed. See the ranger class feature, page 48 of the Player’s Handbook. A scout loses this
benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.
Free Movement (Ex): At 18th level and higher, a scout can slip out of bonds, grapples, and even the
effects of confining spells easily. This ability duplicates the effect of a freedom of movement spell, except
that it is always active. A scout loses this benefit when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying
a medium or heavy load.
Blindsight (Ex): A 20th-level scout gains the blind-sight ability out to 30 feet. Her senses become so
acute that she can maneuver and fight flawlessly even in total darkness. Invisibility, darkness, and most
kinds of concealment are irrelevant, though the scout must have line of effect to a creature or object to
discern it.
