I'm still messing around with the format for this, I haven't found a style for the spoilers at the bottom and the actual body of the story. Some feedback would be nice
You wrap a larger leaf around the two and dig a small pit to put them in. You fish some hot coals out of the fire and put them on top of the leafs, which begins sizzling and cooking the bugs.
(-2 Folded, Tied Leafs Containing Insects and Grubs)After yesterdays encounter you decide you need to have a way to defend yourself from wild animals. Considering your small size, you choose to whittle sticks into throw-able javelins, in order to keep yourself at a distance from the animals. You find four somewhat strait sticks, one much thicker than the others, and carve points into the ends of three of them. The thicker of the four sticks you decide to carve into a walking stick, rounding the top end and smoothing out to prevent slivers.
(+1 Walking Stick, +3 Wooden Javelins)You then walk around and check the traps. The first is sprung but with nothing under it, the second is still upright. When you lift the rock of the third, however, you are rewarded with a fresh rabbit corpse.
(+1 Rabbit Corpse)You still have time before you need to start traveling, so you skin the rabbit and cook its meat, which will provide enough food for half a day. You check on the bugs, which have cooked nicely, and re-wrap them in a new leaf. You pick up the mushrooms and wrap them in a leaf as well.
(+1.5 Days Food, +1 Handful of Mushrooms)You continue your journey to Stockton, and by dusk you find a stone road that leads to the town. You set up your sleeping bag out of site of the road and don't make a fire, preferring not to be able to be seen from it. In the morning you wake and reach the town.
You see of interest a market, a bulletin board, an inn, a chapel, and several guild buildings.
