Adventure Thread - Atarin's Delve

Esteber feels the wind from a very strong punch fly past his face.

"You can purchase supplies for your trip with your guild tokens." the scribe says as he goes over to his desk. He picks up a bracelet for each of you and puts it on your wrist. "This serves as your proof of Adventurer Guild membership and allows you to utilize guild resources around the Freelands. You should wear it at all times. It has no magical properties."

Looking at the map you think it would be a days journey on foot

Slae stifles a chuckle seeing Estobar's charms backfire so spectacularly. He then takes a bite of the sweet roll looking over the map and pondering the proposition. With a slight shrug, he lifts his head and accepts the offer. This may be just the thing to bring him closer to his goal and these fools errrr friends will do nicely to get him there. If they don't kill each other first.

Herja doesn't see an aura around the bracelet

It is a crisp spring day, late morning, when you head out of Praern along the old road that travels around the northern side of the Lough Derg. The road, little more than a path worn by wagon wheels, is empty. Not many people travel by land on the northern shore of the loch. The occasional traveler that you pass nods or smiles, bidding good day as you walk past.

Decisions, decisions...

This trail moves into a hilly region and moves further from the lake as it heads north by northwest.

You could continue upon the road, or choose to walk the shore of the lake. It's clear that at some points along the shoreline it may become a bit more treacherous as it nears the cliffs however the road will probably require catching a side trail or some overland travel to connect back to the cliffs in order to reach your destination, but it makes for easier travel.

Regardless, the terrain is considered "rough" (either from the hills or the sandy/rocky beach), so you move at 25km per day. You suspect you can make it to the dig site by night fall, it is up to you if you wish to camp along the way to arrive in the morning or reach Atarin's camp in the evening.

Food

If anyone has hunter talent they can produce one meal a day per rank without any effort. Otherwise a MND+AG+Hunter check can be used to obtain some game suitable to feed the entire group. This will take some time, however. You may also simply use one day's worth of rations you have purchased.

Other
You are also welcome to track or search or do anything else that you wish along the way.

Would you like to take the high road or low road?

"Aye, I left my climbing boots back in town" Bart says skeptically. "Herja?"

The quartet keeps a steady pace along the trail soon passing no one for hours. With brief stops to drink from their waterskins or to munch a handful of trail food, the group makes good time, in the afternoon coming to the territory where nobles and merchants keep summer homes on the lake. This early in the spring, the group passes a few oxcarts, heavy laden with fancy foodstuffs and supplies undoubtedly headed for some nobleman's home. On one cart Bart sees several kegs of beer and wine! Oh, to be so wealthy!

The homes give way to the lake again and you find the trail that must lead to the shore and to Atarin's camp. It's past supper time, hopefully there will be some food left for your tired, hungry souls.
