You contemplate how to cross the river, Max explaining that the Elves rarely leave their forests and that merchant caravans traveling this way carry rafts to float over.
As a group you refill all your water containers, which happens to be only three water skins worth. You consider saving up for a pull-able wagon or a pack animal to carry your gear, along with a barrel of water.
You spend some time whittling a set of figurines depicting the battle, one of you stabbing a baddie through the chest, one of Mark cutting a baddie's throat, one of Max crushing a baddie's skull, and one of the half-Goblin fleeing the scene like a coward. You decide that if you do end up selling these it will be as a set, and place it in your chest.
(+1 Vagabond Battle Figurine Set)You manage to feed Mavrick his first entirely solid meal, and take notice that he has been increasing in size quickly since you found him. His hair is thicker now and he seems more intelligent, as well as bigger, stronger, and faster.
While you were doing all of this Max and Mark managed to accomplish nothing special, sitting around playing cards by the fire. You pack up your things and decide to head upstream, hoping to find a cross-able spot in the river. After a couple hours of searching you find a shallow rocky part and, carrying Mavrick, carefully cross. After resting for a moment you continue traveling for a while before setting up camp and going to bed.
It is now morning, the birds are chirping, and, while chilly, it seems like a nice day. You are now out of the hills entirely and in the grassy plains, where trees are hard to come by and the only real foliage is the occasional collection of bushes. What would you like to
do?
