At this age Mavrick has difficulty eating solid food, but you manage to get him to eat a few scraps. He still looks hungry however and you decide he needs milk. You leave him in the care of Max, who seems content to sit in camp for now.
You check the local market first and notice several wagons being unloaded with goods. After looking around you find a freelance alchemist selling rats milk, and buy yourself a quart of it alone with a baby bottle that you can use to feed him.
(-15 Copper Coins, +Quart of Rat Milk, +Baby Bottle)You see that the caravan is offloading many Dwarven goods, including weapons and armor. The armor, while a little thick and wide for your body, is still in your size and with a little leather padding on the inside you could make it fit you. While some of the weapons are human sized, many of them are made to the specifications of someone who is three feet tall. You learn that the caravan is next heading to the Elf lands.
A set of this armor is well out of your price range, however if you wanted a set of leather you could still get one from Mark's friend for 60 copper. You look at the weapons:
Steel Tipped Wooden Spear: 25 Copper Coins
Fully Steel Spear: 60 Copper Coins
Steel Spiked Mace with Wooden Handle: 45 Copper Coins
Steel Short Sword with Sheath: 40 Copper Coins
You buy the short sword and head over to Mark's friend. He measures your height and the width of various parts of your body, and makes you a custom set of armor exactly to your specifications. When you wear it, it feels comfortable and it is easy to move in, while still offering protection.
(-1 Silver Coin, +Short Sword, +Armor Set)You look for Chel at the Tinkerer's Guild but you find out it is her day off, and head back to camp. You feed Mavrick some milk and he curls into a ball and sleeps. You decide you're going to train him later, but for now Max says he wants to go retrieve his stash. He says you're carrying too much now and you won't be able to carry all his treasure.
He hands you a lock and key he “acquired” for the chest in your tent, before you go, what would you like to
leave? (Chest is now locked, +Key)
The light blue inverted triangles represent villages. None of them are named on this map, but you know by heart your old home and the nearby human town.
The red X represents your location.
Orange spots represent ruins or interesting locations.
Foothill Village: Your old home, there's no going back now.
Stockton: A Human village, your village used to trade with them frequently. It is your current location. You were told there is an old abandoned prison nearby, perhaps it is worth looking into. A one-eyed Dwarf told you the location of a loot cache in the prison. You have found a hidden spot to camp at night.
Cryptsocks: A Dwarven mountainhome that you were told is incredibly rich but exclusive on who can even enter.
Changedgrove: An Elven settlement that sits at the border between the forest and the plains.
