The Untamed Wilds: Caravan Campaign

Day 36: Evening Tasks



Tor, Merin, Sannit, Bolo, Saemund

Sheldon -

Hey Merin, since Sannit is already proficient at finding precious metals and we do not currently need the extended range beyond the stream bed, why don't you and Tor search for practical metals like iron and nickel, in addition to titanium.

Since there are enough searching for such, I will see about finding some food while Indigo goes with Bolo.

Saemund, since you don't have a range weapon and are not able to manipulate way at a distance, why don't you work with the others searching for metals.

Day 37: Searching for the Haunted Tree, Day 2

The previous night was uneventful, except for the rain, which is rather expected at this time of year. Travel is also uneventful through midday. The few fish from the stream are not an providing adequate food supply. Shortly after continuing on from the midday rest, the party spooks a covey of large game birds and is able to take 3 of them before the rest escape, which will help for the evening meal.

Late in the afternoon, the party comes upon a group of large emerald beetles. The beetles are about the size of a person's head and are surprisingly quick in their desire to flee from approaching danger and only one is captured. Once the desired carapace is removed, Turtle happily eats the remainder.



The remainder of the afternoon is uneventful.

Merin and Tor will search for useful metals (Iron, Nickel, Copper, Titanium) and also, as time permits, they will search for the minerals (?) that the blacksmith wanted:

The Blacksmith said:

"...This shiny black rock is called Carbone. The other is called Pietrazulfo. They are found in mountain areas but I do not know where. I need these to forge alloys."

San-Bolo use the beetle carapace to try and find the others, hunting them if necessary to bring more carapace back for Maeli.

Sannit will help with metal and mineral location, working with Saemund to show him their developing technique.

Bolo and Turtle continue to help with plants and animals, including finding lizards. Bolo thinks about making a journal next time she in town to start drawing specimens.

Saemund walks with Sannit's attempting to learn to locate minerals. He picks up a rock near his foot, and shows it to Sannit. Is this one of your valuable stones?

Sannit chuckles, "You need to feel with your mind for the right minerals, Saemund, not look with your eyes. The metal will speak to you if you know how to listen. What we are looking for will make our weapons sharper and stronger than anything else, and since our enemies have wealth we can use all the advantages we can get."
After a short pause he adds, "Manipulating way does much more for us than digging in the dirt. When you are in harmony with your surroundings it will make you a better warrior as well, knowing when and how to strike your opponent to maximum effect. Bolo and I train every night, practicing using way to defend as well as attack. Trust me when I say if you come up against a proficient way user, which is almost certain as a Seeker, you want more than just your axe to fight with. They will take your will from you, and make you a slave if they can."

Saemund looks at Sannit, a smirk comes across his face. "A woman once told me I needed to learn how to listen, if your expensive rocks have as much to say as this woman did we shouldn't have any problem finding them." Saemund returns to seriousness," Feel the rocks you say? Listen to them???", "Very well then, I'll attempt to listen for them, hopefully they will call out like dying men to their mothers." "And I like this idea of being a better warrior, I will need to become proficient in manipulating way, anything that will give me an advantage in battle. I think I can learn to listen for that.
