The Hexcrawl

This next part of the adventure will be a hexcrawl as you try to get away from the Burning Mammoth's forces. You are represented by the banner, and them by the red token (Once you start moving you won't know where their token is).

You get 1 Travel Activity each day. It takes 1 Travel Activity to move into a hex of open terrain (the green hexes). It takes 2 activities to move into difficult terrains (the yellowish hexes that represent hills and the forests). The following can't cross large bodies of water, but they can cross rivers.

You may also Reconnoiter a hex. This will take as many Travel Activities to move into the hex. You automatically find any special feature that doesn’t require a check to find, and you attempt the appropriate checks to find hidden special features. In this chapter, there’s little actual
exploration to do—the Broken Tusks know this area well, the scouts have no reason to linger or go off course.

As it is a new map, you no longer see the full map, only the hexes around your position. You also have gained access to a couple of new exploration activities and I will repeat the old ones for easy reference in one post:
[ +- ] Hexploration Movement:
[ +- ] Reconnoiter:
The party can attempt a delay activity only before they’ve used their hexploration activity for the day. Each delay activity requires a check. Only one character can attempt this check, though other characters can Aid as usual. Succeeding at an activity’s check temporarily slows down the Burning Mammoths, but critically failing the check only causes the Broken Tusks to waste precious time. Once the party has attempted a delay activity in a hex, they must Travel to a new hex before attempting another delay activity.
[ +- ] Conceal Tracks
[ +- ] Ford River
[ +- ] Plant False Tracks

I think maybe it will be easier to keep the strategic discussion about where you want to travel in this thread. I took the executive decision to move you into this hex, as it was the only possible hex. The next one is quite obvious as well before it starts opening up a little. But you need to decide if you want to Reconnoiter, Conceal Tracks or Plant False Tracks or just move on quickly.
Oct 4, 2023 2:56 pm
Reconnoiter has my vote

Edit: as it says we can use a delay activity only before choosing our exploration activity for the day, I'm taking that to mean we:

1. Choose and complete a delay activity if we choose, THEN ALSO
2. Choose a Travel Activity (such as reconnoiter or moving to a new hex)

Is that right?

If so, Koram would like to attempt to Plant False Tracks and then reconnoiter. Rolling below

Edit 2: one shy of a crit success! Can the others "Aid" to potentially push it to a crit success?

I'll allow aid after the fact. Usually the aid has to be rolled before the roll, but due to everyone being online at the same time I have no problem with aiding after seeing the roll.

Igbork isn't gonna be to one to aid because he's only got a +0 in Deception

As for the rout I'd suggest the bottom right hex on the map...

OOC:
Nice! Great job, WhtKnt! I foresee a lot of hiding tracks in our future w/ bonuses like that.


@Furmyr A thought, going forward - for these checks, if you wanted to maintain the idea of rolling Aid checks 'before' or at the same time as the primary check: we could always roll the primary check as 'hidden', allowing people to post their aid checks after without knowing the primary result. You could reveal the rolls when you post the results of the check. Just a thought.

You spend a day to reconnoiter and finds nothing of interest. Again you must choose to Reconnoiter or not, and wether to use a delay or not. You must also choose where to go next.
OOC:
That could work as well.
Oct 6, 2023 4:38 pm
OOC:
Koram will almost always opt to reconnoiter. I don't like missing things lol If others feel different, please say so, but that will be my vote. If someone else wants to lead the delay roll, please do so. I am going to post a 1d20 w/ hidden results here - if nobody else wants to lead, I'll volunteer it as another Deception roll for hiding tracks. Otherwise, consider it an aid roll.

His Deception modifier is +9.

So, time to get back to the hexcrawl. Where to next. Northwest or southwest is the two hexes you have not explored yet.
Nov 14, 2023 5:58 am
OOC:
I'm terrible and hate leaving things un-explored. I vote NW. I think we've had some really good rolls for covering tracks so far, so hopefully a little inefficiency on the exploration won't bite us too bad? If someone wants to veto, feel free.

The temperature stays low. In addition the wind picks up, with severe winds that makes navigating the hilly terrain difficult. And the rain that pelts you almost horizontally would have made it a horrible night, though you are able to find a cave that gives you some shelter to the worst of the effects.

You are nearing the edge of the map, and to the west you can see frozen peaks beyond the hills.

Early in the afternoon the storm hits for full and it is difficult to make progress or even move forward. Though the river offers little protection from the wind, it is an easy feature to follow. With wind speeds almost reaching 100 kmph (60 mph). By the time you make camp you are all wet and miserable. Everyone give me a DC 16 Fortitude save and let me know where you want to go next.

Jul 24, 2024 5:48 am
Koram nods, we'll have to cross somewhere, and I don't know how to build a boat. He begins scanning for an area along the river that might be forded on foot.
Jul 24, 2024 7:06 am
Iroven agreed with Tomas and Koram, "It looks like we have to cross the river. It would have been really good if we could somehow sail the lake and cross it to the other side. We could have increased the distance with Burning mammoth more. But, I don't know if the clan has any boats."

"If we cannot find a way to ford the river, we may need to return to the Following to see what resources are available that could help," Koram nods in agreement.
Jul 24, 2024 10:18 am
I wrote as you first found the river that you are easily able to ford it. The herd can't cross large bodies of water, but can cross the river in any flatland hex.

Lets cross then, go NE.

The weather stays fine during daylight hours, but as you camp for the night the wind picks up. Nothing compared with the storm you weathered recently. By the time you tear down camp and is ready to move on, it has calmed down again. Just a little chill in the air. Where will you go next?
Jul 25, 2024 11:15 am
Looks like there are more green pastures on NE. I vote to go NE.

I'll take the firs suggestion as the choice, to keep the pace up. You have another uneventful day traveling. From time to time you can spot another river to the south-east of you. Where to next?
Jul 26, 2024 10:15 pm
The river SE seems the obvious choice for a wandering tribe, thus we should go N to throw the Burning Mammoth's off?

You climb the hills and get a spectacular view of the mountains to the north. Some strong winds, make the journey more annoying, but not dangerous for you. You hunt some mountain goats, one of the only life signs you find here. Where to next?

You see a pass between two mountains to the North East. Could this be the pass that leads you out of the valley?

It takes almost a week to get back out from the pass. You are back to at the entrance and for the first time in days in the position to make a choice of where to go next.

Getting over the river is easy and you see the river continuing to the south east (or rather coming from since the river flows towards the lake).

You can see a verdant forest to the south.

You see the river coming down from the mountains to the north east, and you know you can't climb them with your following. There is a forest to the south and hills to the south east.
Sep 2, 2024 2:14 pm
"We're not getting up there. Continue south?"
Sep 2, 2024 4:36 pm
Iroven watched the rolling hills and the rugged lands and said, "I don't know. We have been moving around these rugged lands which ultimately led us to high mountain ranges that blocked our way. Now that I see the river source, my intuition is saying that moving south will only lead to more impassable mountains. Maybe we should skirt the dense forest and move northwest and continue to follow it's edge to southwest. There was a large lake in that direction but maybe moving between the lake and forest would be better."
Sep 2, 2024 8:52 pm
So, southwest.

More forest to the south. The forest is teeming with life, but anything dangerous seems to keep their distance from you.

The forest grows deeper and it's hard to see the distance. At one point you come into a clearing and see heavy cloud cover above. Climbing a large tree you see mountains to the south and the forest continues to the south east.

You find yourself surrounded by mountains in 3 directions. Leaving only the north or the choice to backtrack to where you came from.
