Turn 2 – The Ambush (Part 1) and Shopping Spree (Part 1)Granite 1, 251
It is just past Noon.
At Ceyecanethitha, “Chance Squids”, Forest Retreat
Mahtan Anarion’s POVStriding off confidently, you immediately head to the deepest part of the woods you know. Exploring, you come across a [6] brook. You cross without interruption. [4] You explore for quite some time; [1] and are ambushed by a goblin. How unfortunate.
In Liwaalisa, “Strike Bud”, Forest RetreatAlana Teucer’s POV”Uhh… Why does goblin disguise just look like a patch of green paint?””There’s a part where you just pull a string, and it will make a bunch of fake troll fur spring up. Dwarven engineering, yes, but it works.”The Guildmaster shows you the place and pulls it. [5] The furs come out.
”Sometimes, though, it’s a bit rough and won’t work.”He pulls it again, [2] and the furs go in a little. He pulls it again, [1] and the furs come out. Again, [5] and it finally goes in.
You and your sister leave, after giving thanks to the guildmaster again.
”You think I should go buy some supplies? All I’m thinking is that they would give a few poultices made from herbs. I’m not complaining, just that… this boon could be put to better use.””Such as…?””Well, giving it to the ones that helped me graduate seems fit. Meaning, you.””Oh, you. I’m guessing you need it more.”
“Knowing how weak you are when it comes to wounds, you wouldn’t need medical supplies!”...”Hey, it was just a joke.”You arrive at the medical store.

At Nishvukrig, “Trade Drifts”, Mountain Home
Fekod Sladeborn’s POVTaking a barrel of beer, you attempt to pour it into your flask, slowly. [1] Unfortunately, after you finish pouring it, you forgot to close the flask and it poured beer on the floor in front of you. [6] You try again, and after spilling a tiny bit, you manage to fill up your flask, close it, and put it in your backpack. You start going to the food stockpile.
"Have you, um… thought about… uh… an occupation now that we're… uh… um... graduated? I thought I might become a… um... caravan guard. I was… uh… wondering if you... uh… hadn't already planned out your… uh… occupational path and if you hadn't then you might… um... sign up for the same… uh… caravan?""I was thinking scavenging. Y'know, going into old abandoned forts and seeing if there's anything good lying around. Figure I need some experience in the field 'fore I go feed myself to some evil beasties, heh! Caravan guard actually sounds pretty decent. Might find me some contacts to buy the stuff I'll find."You decide to partner up.
At the food stockpile, you take a few plump helmets and some chicken wings.
Cero Undulai’s POVYou take a barrel of wine and [1] accidentally drop it, spilling wine everywhere. You try again, [5] and pour your wine perfectly into your flask. You start following Fekod into the food stockpile.

At Jonicmon, “Basement Holy”, Capital
Gregory Gianovich’s POV”Let’s get this done with. And I want to borrow your book if I don’t end up buying one for myself.””We can use it to keep track of our quests and such, until you can get one for yourself. Hopefully they don’t cost too much. We’ll need writing supplies as well if we are to write in them…”You rip out a piece of paper from your book.
[3] Inside, you borrow a pencil from the shopkeeper and writes down a list of food you can get.
[2] Going to the drink shop, you also borrow a pencil and write a list of drinks you can get.
Going to the medical shop, you borrow a pencil again and write a list of the medical supplies you can get.
