Day Seventeen. Near Sunset. 27th day of the month of Qrot, 1280th year of the Age of Aquilonia
In the beautiful, cruel, unforgiving wilds of Pictland, the adventurers divide their number.
At one with the land, Torix descends into the valley. There will be water there, luring game at dusk. The savage Pict moves swiftly to be in position before then.
Near sunset, he finds a surging river of bright clean cold water! Fish leap across the sparkling current. It's the salmon run.
Suddenly, Torix looks towards a small waterfall 60 yards away, and sees he is not alone!
The gigantic grizzly, twice the height of a man, does not smell, hear nor see Torix yet.
Actions, Torix?!
Unfamiliar with the terrain of Cimmeria's traditional enemy, Cruloc the barbarian is still at home in the wilds unlike those borne of city, desert and the mysterious East.
In truth, Dahinna has never before held so much gold while on the brink of starvation.
Nuts and berries are foraged (add 1 ration to the group), sorcerous tomes are studied, and preparations for a defensible campsite are underway when suddenly...
Cruloc alone hears an almost silent footfall within the viridian wall... where none of his companions are standing!
Actions, Cruloc?!
