Ivamir heads out to the Location: The Silverwood Forest

It takes him all day to get there and it's now late at night. So he uses survival to make a campsite and eats a ration before going to bed. Casts guidance on himself and then uses survival.

11

In the morning, he covers the coals with sod after enjoying a breakfast and enters the Silverwood by light of sunrise.

He is as stealthy as possible using guidance  20 

Zombie perception passive 8 12

Ivamir perception passive 13 guidance  18

They both spot each other but Ivamir spots the zombie a bit quicker.

Distance 50ft.

Init roll

Ivamir guidance  6

Zombie 19

Ivamir sweating from the long battle finally vanquishes the zombie.  He pushes though to get back to town not too late and waits until the morning to get paid.

Arrive a bit late he grabs a bite to eat and a mug of ale spending 3 sp on food and entertainment.

Ivamir gets up and stretches a bit to loosen the bruise up from the zombie.  He grabbed some parts off the zombie (OOC - Maybe lol to sell.)

He heads down to the inn for a bit of fresh food and see if anyone is interested in going out together.

Nice!

Tesco wakes up the next morning feeling refreshed and alive. He eats a hardy meal and asks Liam about the Badlands Bandits and caravans that risk raiding. Liam is quick to speak, "Aye, my wagon is waiting in the back and I have two horses to make your journey quicker. I trust you can take care of a few bandits?"
