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!
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.

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!

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?"
