Loot is known to be found inside old ruins so I say camp in the ruins and hope for the best.

Jackard posted:Camp and eat.  The Chasm of Doom posted:The ruins are overgrown with weeds and roots, but you can make out the shape of the inner sanctum of the temple quite distinctly. The huge marble canopy is still intact and will serve as an excellent shelter from the storm. As you tie your horse to a withered shrub, you glance up to see two men hiding beneath the canopy, dressed in long black robes. You order them to come out and identify themselves, but they neither move nor answer your call.

Tiggum posted:We don't need to eat just now, the book was just letting us know that Hunting won't work here for no reason. In each of Books 3-5, Dever was very clear that there would be some areas where Hunting wouldn't work. So then he had to back it up. quote:This skill ensures that a Kai Lord will never starve in the wild. He will always be able to hunt for food for himself except in areas of wasteland and desert. You are aware that the Wildlands south of the Pass of Moytura are a wasteland and that opportunities for successful hunting may not arise until you reach the Ruanon Forest. But this skill is still very useful for it also enables a Kai Lord to move with great speed and dexterity. approach them in friendship, hiding our blades behind our backs for their sudden but inevitable betrayal.

They seem relieved to have made friendly contact in the middle of this inhospitable wasteland. Neither of them speaks, but they remove amulets from around their necks and offer them as some kind of identification. The small wooden fish hanging on the neck-chains are symbols of a Holy Order known as ‘The Redeemers’, a silent order of pilgrims devoted to a lifetime of prayer and the study of the healing arts.

Rangers: 10 Missing: 0 Dead: 3 Sent home: 37 I chose to eat a meal from our backpack and take the flask of holy water, but you can vote on that now if you'd like to do otherwise (no Hunting though, remember) along with your choice of which direction to go. We've actually done quite well so far. The real reason we sent those 37 men home is because, at this point in the book, it's possible to have up to 40 casualties, so if you end up with more than ten men still alive the book forces you to ditch the excess to keep things consistent in the next section.

The Chasm of Doom posted:It is almost dark when you reach the edge of a densely forested valley. You can just make out the highway disappearing into the trees ahead and catch sight of a signpost pointing towards the south. You are now only forty miles from Ruanon, but your men are tired and in need of food and rest. Tiggum fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Send 3 more Scouts. That should leave us with the Pink, Yellow, Green, and Red Rangers- who are usually the most useful ones. Black, Blue, and White can go missing too.

While going through the forest makes an ambush likely, traveling along the highway is too conspicuous.
