[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8183195, member: 6801845"] Some quick thoughts. The main initial threats will likely be scavengers, both predators attracted to the smell of blood and intelligent monsters looking to loot the wreckage. But a bigger question is why did the ship crash in the first place? Cloud giants fighting dragons? Can you set up a scenario where people have to flee or risk being caught in the crossfire? Is there a war going on? Then of course there's the whole survival aspect, so some of the goods should be related to that. Warm weather gear, tents, food and so on. Maybe things that have to be cobbled together. It seems fairly obvious they're not going to be rescued, what time of year is it? Do they need to scrounge things together to survive long enough for spring or do they need to scramble to put together supplies and sleds to get down the mountain before the first winter storm hits? So a lot of the supplies could be a bit mundane. Beyond that? I might throw in some fun stuff like a message stone or 10. Either have someone call them or they find them but have no clue who is on the other line. I'd include multiple because they're one use/day so you can have a bit of back and forth. You could also throw in a broken ballista and tools and replacement parts. Depending on the scenario I'd consider including some magical (but heavy) bolts that can be used to fight off a dragon or bigger creature that could potentially cause an avalanche or other fun consequences. Other than that, [USER=7020951]@J-H[/USER] had some good ideas. [/QUOTE]
