While a stone age campaign based on Alley Oop would be more like modern-day living with a stone age backdrop, a campaign more like Og Son of Fire would deal with more realistic issues, like hunting to survive, and navigating threats like superstitious people and the constant threat of stoning.
Should "sinister stranger" be a mobster type? These two are obviously some type of hoodlum. Perhaps sinister hoodlums would try to corrupt others into working with them. Looks like they have a vamp in their "secret hideout" too.
Don Dixon falls into a trap; the bridge is rigged so that the ropes can be pulled taut enough to snap (mechanically, from a remote distance), dropping anyone on it into the water below (it looks to me like a 30' drop). Not sure what the bad guys mean by "microscope" here, unless they meant "television"...
Look-outs are a mobster I should have added ages ago. A look-out would not be much in a fight, so maybe 1-1 HD at best, but they were be hard to surprise -- 1 in 6 only.
Added to the bridge-drop trap is that the water Don was dropped into is a "raging torrent" that leads to a whirlpool. A whirlpool is a pretty serious deathtrap, maybe save or die every turn until rescued. I can't be sure why the water is warmer around the whirlpool, but can guess that Don might have wet himself...
H&H does not have much for dangerous fungi, a niche that the honey death mushrooms introduced in
The Trophy Case v. 2 no. 6 was meant to fill.
Elks have not yet been statted for
H&H, but would likely have 5 HD.
