Turn 3
Everyone:
As the sun rose above the snowy mountaintops, the company left the encampment. Many of them had acquired new trophies which they proudly wore, even though only four people had participated in killing the beast. Several of the people were tired, but luckily enough they had their mounts to ride on.
When the sun is at its highest point you stop seeing the runes in the rocks, which indicates that you have left the Lion's territory. But several other strange things have been spotted, which were definitely created by sentient beings. The most common are skulls of wild beast impaled on wooden spears, but crude traps and remains of campsites have been discovered too. As far as you know, there are no civilized sentient beings east of Oackholm, so these must have been created by either a group of bandits or an undiscovered tribe or civilization. Just before you reach the tree line the sun sets again, and the caravan decides to stop traveling to eat, drink, sleep, and tell some stories around the campfire. An elderly human says he wants to go first, and starts telling the well known tale about the creation of the eternal world.
"As you all know this world was created by Bufus, the great toad of creation. He was born from Kaos, and decided to create order. At the moment Kaos gave birth to him, he created the centerworld, a land far from here. He created forests and plains, tundras and deserts, mountains and oceans, and the first races to finish his creation. He created elves to take care of the green forests. He created the humans to build cities on the lush plains. He created giants to defend the freezing tundras. He created Djinn to roam the scorching deserts. He created dwarves to mine the mountains. And he created merfolk to swim in the deep oceans.
He shaped the six Major gods: Aenea, Quinten, Silgir, Haji, Deron and Amphise, and gave them the power to create.
But he deemed the centerworld too small, and used his powerful magic to create the eternal world. But Haji, the treacherous god of the Djinn, used his magic to interrupt Bufus, resulting in both the death of Bufus and the semi-failure of the spell. Now, whenever someone from the discovered world looks at a location that has not yet been explored, they can see the world expanding. They can see how mountains are created, oceans are filled and the most wonderful thing: how life is created. As soon as a location gets explored, it becomes part of the discovered world, and creatures that were created in the process are able to discover parts of the world itself. But the undiscovered locations are dangerous, for they are filled with dangerous magic and hostile species."
Taki
The combination of running all day and barely sleeping last night has made you extremely tired. You almost collapse after setting up your tent. You think it would be wise to get some sleep.
Kaya
You have slept perfectly fine last night, even though a huge feline creature was slain not far from your tent. But once you woke up you could feel that the bracelet had scorched your arm. After setting up your tent you suddenly feel that there's something stuck between your arm and the bracelet, but you are unable to see what it is.
Ixis
You felt pretty tired after being awake for almost the whole night, but you have managed to get some more sleep while riding your Sleipnir. Just after you passed the last skull-on-a-pole, you felt an eerie feeling, which was over pretty fast.
Zazerth
You feel very tired after being awake the whole night. You think it's best to get some sleep. Today, you've discovered some tracks of some kind of hooved animal you have not yet seen before. They were heading east and they were quite big for a forest animal. You consider splitting with the caravan for the day tomorrow, so that you can track and even kill the creature. You can easily find the caravan later that evening, because they are not covering their tracks, and they are just going east.
Luyfie
You feel tired too. The elven mage has set up her tent next to yours, but she has not said any word to you yet. She seems to have been communicating with birds all day long, and she looks pretty tired as well.
Folwin
You feel tired, because you have not slept last night, and you have been unable to sleep on your Sleipnir. Your knives are extremely sharp though (+4 to anything that has to do with cutting and stabbing)
Averus
Last night, while inspecting the corpse of the lion, you managed to feel a little hard lump on the chest of the lion. You immediately cut it out and discovered it was a little rock. You've decided to take it with you. At the moment it became dark again this night, it started emanating a bright green light, and spreading a comfortable warmth through your body.
Bjarg
You have succesfully managed to create a skull pauldron, but the Lion's skull hasn't been properly cleaned and several people have complained about the terrible smell of rot it spreads.
Rob, Bob and Job
You have discovered a caravan joining your hunting territory, and they seem to have noticed several of the traps you have created. They seem to be heading to the east. They seem to be consisting of all kinds of different races, and they're being accompanied by a great, flying creatures which seems to be carrying a lot of their possessions.
