Need advise. Part two of chapter 1. Help with druid.

[garfielder]

Greetings. I just started the game and players just got a chance to finish generating character and do part one (Festival and Fire.)
Before going to part three I want them to spend some time to getting knowing the city better. Any suggestions on what else I can do aside from quests in part 2? Obviously it cannot be long adventure but something extra to do local in meanwhile?
Also I really want players to spend time with Aldern Foxglove. Only problem is party has a druid (3 people game - wizard, barbarian - druid.)
So what you think should be reaction (actually what you would expect it to be from player) about the hunt idea and what I might use as alternative to let them get to know each other a bit...
thanks.

Druids generally have no specific problems with hunting. They might if the boar was killed and left to rot or something, but if the party takes the carcass hone to eat... well, lots of things in nature hunt for food.

Agree with Derek, if they just kill the animals and leave them it would be a problem.

Hunting for food is natural, even if it's something like Foxglove is planning.

well for the extra stuff I have pages and pages of extras for my group.

For the festival. we had 16 festival events for the players to get to know townsfolk. Then the raid. Afterwards for "Local Heroes" I have 18 events including what is in the book. I have everything in PDF if you want to see it. Just let me know.

Thank you for confirming what I was expecting but wanted to be sure.

Not like it say anywhere in book that druids are vegan :) Still need to be certain. :)

Yeah. I've always played Druids as people who want responsible use of nature, not the radical wing of Greenpeace.

Selective logging and replanting yes. Clear felling no!

I played a Druid in Kingmaker, her aim was to get some of the Greenbelt hexes granted to her as her lands so she could turn them into a preserve.

She had levels in the professions; Butcher, Hunter & Tanner and made a living selling hides of animals she'd killed for food.

She also made jewels from the teeth, claws and horns, everything was used. :-)

This is amazing how much sense it's all makes now - they allowed to wear leather armor but not metal - so if they would be extreme pro life it probably would have been a bit opposite :)
