The day's meal eaten, the campfire is put out and the tent set up, ready for sleep.
DAY 6
The sun rises over the Dust Barrens. The Bean Bunch are two days away from Hopeful Creek.
Time for everyone to test WITS for finding water!

Re: Scene VII: The Scorned Path (Scum on the Trail)
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

I'd hold your hair back for you but good knows what resides within it.

A natural 1, eh?
Cumflutter, roll me a GRIT test with 2d20, and this time you select the worst of the two rolls.
Also, everyone loses their Aces when somebody rolls a nat 1.

WITS: 12 + 2 = 14

While we wait for Cumflutter to make his 2d20 (and choose the worst result) Grit test, somebody roll me a d100 for the daily event!

Re: Scene VII: The Scorned Path (Scum on the Trail)
As the Bean Bunch ride along the trail, they come across a wretched looking man sitting by the side of the path, covered in filthy bandages, his fingers and toes missing.
A dusty and worn-looking chessboard is placed on the ground in front of him, the pieces lined up to play.
"Howdy, friends! Don't s'pose you'd care for a game o' chess with a poor ol' leper like me?"
