You drool as you start helping yourself to the food. The old hag smiles with her crooked teeth at the sight.

The veggies are crunchy and fresh, and so are the fruits, tasting like multiple varieties of honey encapsuled in mushy cream. The meat stew is superbly prepared and you salivate as you take bites of the firm, yet juicy beef into your mouth. The broth is thick with vegetables, all cooked into perfection.

Such joy is multitude of foods! The hag laughs jovially as you fill yourself with the delicious foods, lost in the taste and senses. More, more! You need to have more - now and forever!


Congratulations! Velarien gained a new negative trait: glutton!


Suddenly you shake from cold as you realize you're sitting outside, stuffing wilted grasses and small worms into your mouth. The house, the pot, the table and the foods are all gone, but the wind carries an old woman's cackle through the air.

You spit the remnants of your 'feast', feeling hunger in your stomach.

Miserable, you continue your climb.

Perhaps driven by anger and shame, you nimbly ascend for another ledge. Here, you see a splitting path.

One is leading downwards, towards something of a valley, nested between mountain walls.

The other is climbing steepily upwards, until it terminates in another cliff-face to scale.

Where to?

A) Up and up we go!
B) Valleys have coves, right? Right??

[Kashyyk]

A - We're not at the peak yet

I was right about the "food".

That was a coincidence. She just wanted us to eat some food. We were looking mighty skinny

[Naturegirl1999]

A why are we doing this? Also I’m glad she didn’t try to eat us, this could have been worse

[Haspen]

You continue climbing still!

Not only you climb swiftly, but you also find a partial path leading upwards. Not having to climb all the time does wonders to how your hands feel - plus of course you save quite a lot of energy and time.

You reach a ledge with a shallow cave for you to camp at. You can see the peak of the mountain above you from here.

(Supplies: 7)

In the morning, you pass the final climb - it is a very short one - and arrive at the flattened peak.

Small sunflowers, argent in petals and black in stalks, grow amongst pebble-ridden black dirt. Each and every sunflower is ripe, as far as you can tell, with hundred of silver seeds.

Is it time to harvest and go home, at last?

A) Take just one seed.
B) Grab a handful of seeds.
C) Look around for some special-looking seed.
D) These argent sunflower seeds could be useful back down! How about we fill up our sack and clothes' pockets with them??

B
Let’s make sure we don’t take them all, I assume these are rare

"Upon the peak of the mountain that your peoples call Mount of Silbar, there's a shadowed cove. The frozen peak and the sharp rocks guard the seed of silver that is buried in black dirt there. Those of impure intentions will die upon the rock while those in great need will harvest the seed. Once the seed is planted in your kingdom's soil, it will blossom and consume the miasma that sustains the pestilent bloom, causing it to wither and remove its grasp upon the living. This seed you, King of Bailemarr, must recover from Mount of Silbar."

1. The wizard referred to "seed", singular.
2. They mentioned that the seed was buried; ergo, I don't think we can just take any seed, but need to find one that is in the ground.

So, I say C.
