John gives the group his money, telling them to continue the trek and establish the portal. His time is up, but their job must continue
He then writes the wizard a letter to send to the baron the job is done once he heads back after submitting the portal, and for him to send his best to fight soon.
Then…he walks away, heading far from his group.
Watching the stars, his final day is one of rest.

Wizard [3] The wizard inscribes some runes in the Barren Wastes. He thinks they're pretty cool, huh?
Soldiers [3] The mercenaries fight valiantly against the skeletal hordes, which is to say they fight for a bit and then leave, because they already have all the money they're getting out of this job, so eff it. They leave the wizard behind, who is seen being carried off by some skeletons. He seems fine with this situation, for some strange wizard reason.
0 days left.John wandered off into the wilds to die. He could barely take a few steps before entering the Light Kingdom. Oh, come on! Can't a guy die in the wilderness in peace? A deep shadow passed over him, and then a skeletal dragon annihilated him with fire breath, before continuing to destroy some buildings in the kingdom.
Damn, forgot the actions.
Go forth and find a weapon and armour.
Find companions to join my mission.
Find a map that tells me where the evil citadel is.

You have [5+2] days to live.
1: Adventure [4] You enter a cave. An old man tells you that it's dangerous to go alone and hands you a wooden sword. Well, it's better than nothing!
2: Social [6] A tall guy whose face you can't see starts following you.
3: Adventure [3] You find an old stone tablet in the grass! The map doesn't seem that well made, but it implies that there's another, longer route to the Evil Citadel which doesn't pass through Chaos Wilds... It seems it passes through six regions, each representing one of the elements.
4: Social [4] You pray to the Light King. He shrugs and tosses you a Light Shield. It doesn't seem to be very heavy!
6 days left.
