Make Camp Move = QM makes Manage Provisions Move and resolve Rations and any soft/hard move + one person on watch rolls +nothing for night event > if Danger resolve Stay Sharp move and then resolve Danger.- Bard Manage Provisions 2d6+Wis = 7-9.  The party consumes the expected amount of rations (1 per personexcept Druid who doesn't have to eat or drink and GM soft move.  The climb and journey was exhausting and the food is so tasty!  1 extra Ration consumed by Caedius!- Roll 2d6+nothing (with take +1 due to Druid's scouting and elements can't be a soft move) = 7-9. GM chooses 1.  One party member of the GM’s choice suffers a restless night.  Caedius suffers a restless night haunted by a terrible song of discordant chords and inscrutable melody (Eldenbright is his uncle).  He heals on 1/4 max HP from rest.  Everyone else heals 1/2 max HP.[HR][/HR]That is what a day's Journey play loop looks like.  How would that manifest/work out in ItW&W?</blockquote>
