Anyone else doing Journey activities before we complete the long rest and move on to next day? You're currently on tier 1 Open roads. The base DC is 12, but since you're currently avoiding attracting attention, you are considered to be multitasking (+3 DC).

Seems Ugost was doing Hunt and Gather and succeeded, which will grant 1 extra Supply.

And it looks like Scarfs was using Entertain, which is also successful, which means that 2 party member (Scarf's choice) will not take a level of strife the first time they would do so. This bonus will last for a week.

Scarfs chooses Garbuffel & Zariana for targets of that.

After spending some time while there is light to secure resources and increase his knowledge of the plants and animals of the surface world. When gathering he chats a bit with Zaiashi and talks about his life in the dark caverns below the surface and asks questions about Zaiashi's background.

When Ugost returns he spends a moment to ensures their wagons tracks are hidden as well as possible..

What are the chances the town lets this go? There is now way a wagon can outpace a currier or more guards on horseback. Do we need to avoid civilization for a while? If we cant enter Ringwood and Blackford can we still get into contact with someone to help us recover our memories? he asks in general but focuses his attention on Belton, hoping the merchant might offer some insight.

Ugost is not terribly concerned with being wanted or even recovering his memories but it is annoying as it limits his travel options and he really want to express his un-gratitude towards whomever helped abduct him. However he is fine with simply leaving the area but does want to help Belton before moving on.

Zariana sits next to the fire and pulls a book out from a pouch on her belt. Then she takes a small quill out and begins to jot note down, thoughts that occurred to her after their reawakening, any memories that might have bubbled up since then. Skills and tasks she feel comfortable volunteering for and comments she's made. It would seem to anyone reading over her shoulder as if she was looking for clues that might be hidden inside her own mind to some kind of mystery. Of course to anyone reading over her shoulder her diction and scripts are both archaic and largely unintelligible although the quality of her handwriting is impeccable.

"Does anyone recall how they ended up in the prison?" She asks as they're beginning to bed down, "I do not and I find that unsettling."

No, and the loss of the memory is not a bother so much as what I was made to do while under control of others. Though the one creature was slain I doubt that is the extent of whatever power gained control of us. However the total lack of any clues as to whom or what was manipulating us makes the next step a bit of a problem.

"I doubt anyone can help in Ringwood or Blackford. though I might be able to unload my bedrolls there and make a profit..." Belton rubbed his hands together at the prospect... "Oh, your memories, yes. Well, as I told you earlier when we met, I think the only one who can help is Granny Appleseed. But she lives all the way into the Weirwoods. Odd place those woods too, but hey, you want those memories back, right?"

"Of course I want my memories back! Don't be ridiculous..." says Vuraz with classic dwarf pompous speech as he watches the wood burning. He is also unsettled of what he did, who he was before. He hopes that he did not do anything bad, he does not feel a bad person.

https://i.imgur.com/0qgrdTm.jpeg"I rather think we would all enjoy our memories back." Zariana says looking up from her notes and a quick self portrait. "We cannot very well flit about the countryside with no clue who we are, who our friends were and who our enemies might be."

"And before we begin moralizing or justifying our past actions we were all in prison slated for execution." She waves a hand dismissively, "Very well, sacrifice. The point is someone with access to considerable resources put us there and did not wish for us to get out of there alive."

Zariana closes her book, "It is likely that they are quite put out at this very moment and will in all likelihood be gathering the forces required to put us back behind those walls or more directly into an early grave."

Scarfs is simple, "Let us concentrate on getting to Granny Appleseed and try not to kill too many people on the way. "

Zaiashi looks at Scarfs with a hint of surprise but agrees with her "I agree, we should try to avoid people where ever we can."

How much memory is missing? From at the beginning of the game to some time before that or large pieces of our entire lives?
Well, what is the best way to these Weirwoods? Do you wish for us to continue traveling together or will you make you own way now? Ugost asks Belton

OOC:
You have small holes in your memories here and there, but what's mostly missing is what brought you to Northminster and how you got enrolled into a cult, even if it was against your will.

"I prefer to not kill ANYONE...and I pretty much like being alive or out of jail..." says Vuraz taking a bite from his dried bread.

Unless anyone has anything to add, or if anyone who hasn't yet chosen to perform a journey activity chooses to perform one, we can move on to next morning.

Zariana bundles up in her heavy travelers cloak and leans against a tree. "I need to think about this." She mutters having barely touched her rations, "Perhaps the morning will provide clarity."

She looks about, "I can take an early watch if you want."

OOC:
Yes. That would be the activity Cover Tracks and it is a Survival Check.

Scarfs and Pinto are ready to go. Her tent and such is all neatly packed away and she is feeling better as her feet have healed.

If someone helps out use advantage otherwise drop the 2nd dice

Rolls

Survival * wayfinding (advantage) - (2d20H1+5)

(1712) + 5 = 22

Scarfs will aid Ugost in ensuring our wagon tracks are hidden.
