I was playing a game as a human adventurer armed with an iron pike. First quest, go and kill an Elf Druid. Sounded good to me.
I instantly set off in the direction of the target town, thinking that I should have no real problem.... and for a while it was looking true. I got pounced on by about 6 children, all of whom were easy to deal with. The elf swordsman and spearman were easily dealt with as well (except for a broken hip ,which didn't seem to be too problematic)
And then a Herbalist...
