List the roles a player can take and skills needed for those rolesSTEPS TO RUN A JOURNEY1. Set Journey Path:   - Determine Route: Begin by discussing with the players the route they intend to take. Use the Player's map to trace the journey path, ensuring it connects the starting location to the destination.    - Consider Terrain: Remind players that the path cannot be drawn in a straight line; they must consider the geography, such as mountains, rivers, and forests, which may require detours or specific crossings [Core-109].   - Document the Path: Draw the itinerary on a copy of the journey log, marking any significant landmarks or terrain types that may affect the journey's duration [Core-109].2. Make Marching Rolls:   - Guide's Role: The Guide of the Company will make Marching Tests using the TRAVEL skill. This roll determines how far the Company progresses along their journey path.   - Determine Event Locations: Based on the outcome of the Marching Test, you will determine where along the journey events will occur. If the roll fails, the event may happen sooner than expected, while a success may allow the Company to advance further before encountering an event [Core-109].3. Ending the Journey:   - Reach Destination: The journey concludes when the Guide's Marching Test result matches or exceeds the distance to the destination.    - Handle Unexpected Events: If unexpected occurrences arise during the journey, assess whether they significantly alter the journey's length or direction.
