I destroyed my second raubritter always with 2 warriors in 2 handed swords, and the 2 other with long swords, i should have read your message earlier , as it was difficult to penetrate such armor (as this one unlike the 1st i killed was fully armored in plate), fortunately, my 4 warriors were on him and were experienced enough this time, and so the bonus to damage/penetration that occurs when you group attack on a single target helped greatly in taking down that baron.

Not only i got good looting and good equipment, but Posen gave me good money for getting rid of that maniac.

My party adventures have then taken a new turn, as i faced a second time the Wild Hunt. But this time no hidding, i wanted to test my now more experienced and improved party to see if they were fit to their "local heroes" title around Posen.

4 hell hounds attacked, but my warriors prevailed and got rid of those monsters with few wounds and no party member loss.

Again, an happy to be saved Schart (naked hairy giant) gave me another strength enhancer fruit.
It allowed my leader to finally has enough strength in comparison to what he was carrying (being in full plate + 2 handed sword).

I met a strange place while roaming the nearby country, that seemed to be some evil witchcraft worship place and cleaned it after destroying the wolves guarding it.

I guess it did not helped my reputation with the wiches leaders , but that was a lesson for sending their Wild Hunt to try killing my party members.

After some months, the Wild Hunt catched my guys again in the wilderness.
Confident in the abilities of my troopers , they bravely faced the hounds... but there was no hound this time, in the place of those failure as hunters, there was the huge Hunter itself.

He was alone, and his horned appearance was not frightening my brave warriors, the battle was terrible, the hunter was extremely strong and knocked out 3 of my experienced troopers, only the leader was staying on his foot, heavily wounded.

Finally, the hunter was destroyed , but it was incredibly close ... and surprising to see my troopers falling that quick despite heavy armors and better combat skills, it reminded me of the 1st raubritter battle, in which my troops was inexperienced and had no heavy protection and was falling that quickly in front of the madman blows.

It was a miracle none of the 3 fallen warriors of my party were killed, so i could get them back while running to Posen with my horses for healing.

This bought me some time, as the Wild Hunt will return as long i continue to ignore the witches threats.
But now the witchcraft leaders made my party seriously angry, soon we will give them a visit they will not forget
