Turn 3 – The Ambush (Part 2), the Shopping Spree (Part 2), and the Caravan GuardsGranite 1, 251
It is just past Noon.
Mahtan Anarion’s POV[/i]
Sighing, you notch an arrow. [5] Jumping back over the brook, you shoot, [34 vs. 55] and completely miss. [5] It did stun the goblin at how fast you were, though. [3] You fumble with your bow, then drop it, unsheathing your wooden short sword. [5] Going towards him, you see him stand up. [93 vs. 50] You throw your wooden short sword at the gobin, [3] hitting his chest and slicing through his heart.
”Can’t go anywhere without goblins these days,” you say sighing, picking up your bow and your short sword.
[4] Exploring further, you trip over a herb. Examining it, you determine that it is a painkiller herb!
You pick it up and put it in your backpack.
In Liwaalisa, “Strike Bud”, Forest RetreatAlana Teucer’s POV”Oooooh, look at all the herbs! You were right there!””Err, yeah. I’ll just… close my eyes…”The while shopkeeper was giving you a curious look, your sister gladly explained about your herb-amnesia.
You didn’t know what to pick, so your sister held up each herb one by one and explained in detail before shoving the coins into the keeper’s hands.
”The prices… seem pretty high for herbs I could find… right next to my foot.”You forgot the eighty percent discount, I’ll let you handle that. Point out those which you need, ’k?”Before you started calculating, your sister began probing through the herb pile selecting strange leafy green stalks and stems.
”Oh! It’s a Curaria Mancox! It’s one of the lesser species of the family Alnuria…”$06 Presser

”You’d probably need a bigger backpack,” your sister says, smiling.
Exiting, you look around for other stores. There’s a store called
SpellCraft to your east, and a store called
Adventurer’s Store to your west.

Fekod Sladeborn’s POVSearching for the Outpost Liason with Cero, you find his office. You knock on the door. [5] The Outpost Liason opens the door.
”Hello there. Is there something you would like?””Um… yes, we would like to… um… –“”We would like to sign up for caravan guards.”[5]
”Ok, here’s the contract. We’ll be sending caravans to… what the elves call Ceyecanethitha and Liwaalisa two days later.”

Stalith Ngirathil’s POV”We should get bread for food, water to drink and for the matter of medical supplies, we’d need all the material, even if we have to pay for it. It’s also worth asking if they have a first-aid or wound-treating manual somewhere.””So, after we get our first quest done and gather some experience, do you think we should try to find better places to explore? I don’t want to expend too much time fulfilling simple quests; I’d rather try to search for anything good in neutral lands, near dwarven or elven territory.”Right, you make a good point. I’ll see if I can get a map of the surraounding areas while we’re here, too. I understand perfectly and I agree. Those places should have better ruins to search as well as higher paying quests, but they’re probably more dangerous, too. Let’s work awhile around here to get used to the life of adventuring first, before we rush off and get ourselves killed.””Well, that’s what I meant by getting some experience. Getting used to roaming around enough so we won’t get killed so easily.”You get three loaves of bread, a flask of water, three rolls of cloth, two balls of thread, an iron needle, and three batches of medicinal herbs. After asking around for a map of the surrounding lands, [6] you are given two maps: one of the continent, and one of
Jonicmon.

It’s also worth asking if they have a first-aid or wound-treating manual somewhere.”You look around thoughtfully, as if checking something.

After asking if they have a book on medical care, they give one to you for free. [4] Looking in the book, you see that it’s organized into chapters; each chapter has a different subject, such as cuts, broken bones, and amputation. There’s also quite a few pictures; though some of them are hard to see. (book gives +10 to medical rolls)
