Thag takes his time searching the area around the ruin, and eventually notices, over his rumbling stomach, what appear to be the prints of a wolf, as well as children and kobolds. There seems to be no danger inside, which is mostly open to the elements anyway. Thag is Hungry & Thirsty. Alfred f...

Rabon knows this place as the old orphanage. It's certainly a dumb place for it, but who cares about orphans? He heard that it had burned down not too long before your last outing. So sad.

First thing: Thag, Scout - Ob3

The dog stays with the townsfolk and the boy. When you return to the trail, it is indeed easy to follow. The child made no attempt to hide his path. In about an hour, you crest a rise to see what looks like the burned-out remains of a two-story building, though now mostly a handful of charred timber...

Things get weird if you get to town before the end of a session. If we were sitting at a table and spent half an hour getting back to town and another hour doing town stuff, that's not the end of a session, is it? And yet it makes Goals weird.

It's too dangerous for farmhouses outside of the city walls, but you manage to find a few of the hands that patrol the fields. They recognize the missing boy and take him to get help. You manage to extract yourselves before too many questions are asked of the hobos who just "happened" to f...

Ok, the trick here is that I don't think "town goals" should be a thing. Probably shouldn't have happened in the first place. Whatever. Nothing changes. Just go ahead and choose BIGs now.

Berry rolls the child over. He's dark-haired and skinny. Through dry lips he croaks, "Kimi... Jurin... Wolf... Ash house..." before passing out.

Allric can see the path through the tall grass that marks the child's progress, leading away to the northwest.

It takes about half an hour to trudge through the tall grass after the dog. Eventually, it stops, whining softly over something. It appears to be a small body, ragged and caked in dried blood, face-down the the weeds. It moves slightly and issues a diminutive groan as the dog shoves at it with its s...

It might. You won't know until you try.

The mongrel continues to bark and whine at you as it dashes to and fro. It seems to want you to follow it across the field.

It somehow seems a bit cooler out this morning as you leave the relative comforts of the little village behind you and head out onto the path back to the forest. The morning is quiet, but not unnaturally so. Birds chirp and the wind rustles the weeds around the path. It's in those weeds that you sud...

In the interest of not being ridiculous, the session will continue as you leave town.

Before we get too involved, you guys are still in town. Are you together now? Are you leaving town?

Everything's cool. Just waiting for you guys to decide how you want to proceed and then act on it.

I was just coming in to check on you guys. Bucksurdu is in.

Are you otherwise waiting for me? Do we want to get Bucksurdu up and running first?

I actually thought the same thing, but somebody brought to my attention that things work otherwise. Specifically, while part of approaching town is "Spend Remaining Checks", the details of that say to spend them on Recovery. It doesn't say that you _can't_ use them for other tests, but it ...

Berry is graced with Grace of the Lords of Plenty.
