Saccarr heads through the gates, confident that an Epic Quest™ is now underway.

((What gear do you have on your person and in your pack, following the inventory slot system?))

(Let me think a bit... On my person I have a staff, 2 daggers, my clothes, and a cloak for if it gets cold. In my pack I have how ever much food I start with, and 50' of rope)

As Saccarr leaves town, he is looking for threats, with his staff at the ready

(btw, I think the name is hilarious)

((All players start with 3 slots of rations and 3 AG slots. With your STR, you only have 1 slot in your backpack. So you have 6, and I'll say a 7th since you don't have armor. Your weapons and rope take up four of those, so you have 3 remaining. Are you filling all 3 with rations (~12-18 days worth) and leaving your AG behind with your crossbow?))

((Describe to me what your approach is as you're heading out, and give me a Wisdom (Survival) check please.))

(yep)

While Saccarr is walking, he is turning head back and forth to try to perceive any threats before they kill him. He has his staff in his hands, ready to cast spells with if he gets attacked. Every minute he stops to get a better look around, and check for tracks and trap's.

survival check: 7

It's not too difficult of a walk, keeping along the Old Road to start, but Saccarr also doesn't see much of interest. 

((How long/far are you going? Each hex is about a day's travel.))

(around 4 days of travel along the old road, then 3 to get to the howling woods, then i'll see from there)

Saccarr, you hike south and east along the Old Road for the day, before it starts to get dark. You'd been spending the day keeping an eye and ear our for howls or any other signs of and epic quest that needed handling by the likes of you. Eventually, as it gets dark, you're realizing you are going to need to stop for the night.

((Are you doing anything in particular as you set camp?))

(not really, but i look for threats, or signs that there was some previously)

((Weather: 69))

 The skies remain clear on a crisp fall day. You find a spot that seems like a reasonable place to camp, with a small nearby stream. Some of the needles are beginning to turn brown and fall, but the evergreens around you overall make for a windbreak for the breeze that occasionally crops up.

((Building a fire, or just curling up in your bedroll on the ground?))

(no fire. that means no coffee :( but enemies would see the smoke)

((Noted. Please roll me 2d12s.))

(ok, 14)

You are jolted from your sleep by heavy footfalls and a snuffling grumble, and the sound of something being dragged away from you.

i open my eye but dont move

((Give me a Wisdom(Perception) check at disadvantage.))

10

You see something large a short distance away, tugging and snuffling at your pack!

i get up and cast witch bolt

Attack: 25 Damage: 12

((Give me an initiative roll, if you win, you'll be able to get that off!))
