Scrancher will take a swig of Laudanum whilst he catches up with the rest of the party.

Roll me a d4, Scrancher.

 Cadaver Kid finds thirteen pieces of silver in the bag.
I'll leave them be. If I'm going to potentially anger a deity, it'll take more than 13 silver.

Also that guy we pig testicled to death was almost certainly a demon or some such in human form. Let's just leave the silver alone.

Scrancher feels right as rain again, after a good dose of laudanum.

It appears the Bean Bunch aren't interested in taking the coins from beneath the feet of the six-winged angel painted onto the menhir, so they ride on by and leave it well alone.

After some more miles, the sun sets and it's time to camp once more. Between them, the Bean Bunch have seven meals of crocodile meat and one meal of questionable berries; enough food to feed everybody for two more days.

Can I just give the berries to Doc for his mixtures? They seem more trouble than their worth for food.

Croc please

Sure, Doc will stick them in his saddlebag ready for the next time he has an empty bottle spare.

"I'm not sure that this crocodile meat is agreeing with me."

Scrancher will risk the berries.

You too have gained the Faker's Fortitude skill!

Starting to think it should be called Frontier Fortitude...
