Prologue: The Children's Journey

Grandmother Sophie smiles. "There is a village a mile down the road that has a general store that sells hunting supplies, shields, armor, weapons, potion, anything you need. Even ration packs with candy, nuts, fruit, and jerky. You can go there to get them. They even sell lanterns. Tell them that I sent you and they'll give you a discount. " She tells Woody and Ollie.

"Also you never know what fears come out of people. I've only seen stirges but haven't seen what else is in there because I got scared and locked the doors. So there may be Giant rats, Giant frogs, things like that but you won't know unless you go in there." She adds a moment later.

"If you need me , please don't hesitate to come find me or say my name. Just remember that a closed door is an answer and an open door is an invitation. If you would like to go gather supplies, you can go take my horse Chestnut in the stables to take you to the village which is only a 30 minute ride to and from. As its your first day here, you don't have to start this today. You can start tomorrow. I'll give you a day to get situated and settled here. Who knows? Maybe Flora and Tink would like to help you in your task as it's a great way to bond and gain experience and everlasting memories is working together to take down your foes." Grandmother Sophie said before heading to the garden to water the flowers and pull weeds out.

So what is Woody, tink, ollie and Flora doing right now?

It is 11 am once the tour of the grounds is finished and lunch is usually served at 1 pm so if you all leave now, you can make it back in time for lunch. What do you all decide to do? @Basil,@Svande,@Eyes,@Seck . If Tink and Flora have finished their morning chores, they can go with Woody and Ollie to the village to gather supplies.

As you all head out and two of you ride on Chestnut the brown horse that Grandmother Sophie owns while the other two walk alongside, Woody, Tink, Ollie, and Flora all head to the Coastal village of Port Shale. It is a beautiful bustling town (reminiscent of Port Royal from Pirates of the Carribean) full of busy people shopping at the bazaar and the fish market down at the docks. As you enter and Chestnut walks down the cobblestone street you see a sign that says "We Got What You Need, Buckeys General Store". With a picture of a Haregon rabbitfolk drawn next to the sign holding a carrot in its mouth bugs bunny style. You can smell the ocean and feel the cool ocean breeze on you before you enter the quaint store which is small on the outside but bigger on the inside after hopping off Chestnut tying her up to the wooden post outside.

A white Haregon rabbitfolk jumps off the front desk when he sees you wearing a buttoned up shirt vest and a pocket watch and says with excitement "Welcome! I am Buckey and this is my general store. How can I help you fine adventurers today?"

Tink, as you explore Buckeys store, you find like the front end of a flamethrower nozzle just sitting there on top of a book that says "How to use fire magic in firearms for artificers and gunslingers. " The flamethrower nozzle looking at the price tag is 1 gold and the book under it says "5 gold". There is also a leather wristband belt strap with belt buckle which you can attach to your wrist and make a fire bolt flamethrower wristband out of. The strap is only 1 gold. There is also a bucket of metal cogs, springs, and tubing in there too. Those are 1 copper a piece. Inside there is also a iron triangle which can be used as a detect magic dowser too which is in the bucket as the other parts.

Buckey smiles and says "The weapons and armor/accessories are in the back and I can go ahead and get you set up with the ration packs here and the lantern as well." Buckey says a moment later placing 4 ration packs and the metal lantern on the desk. "So far for the ration packs and lantern, it is 10 gold altogether. I'll leave them up here for you and will calculate everything else for you once you finish shopping."

Flora, are you looking around too?
