Ket, Old TownUrson wrote: ↑Sat Mar 18, 2023 5:16 pm Mikhail
Mikhail shakes his head, annoyed at how Ket has turned into a "big town."
Turning to his new companions, If you decide to camp, I'll be settin' up over there. I'll share my fire with you. He gestures toward a spot in the camping area.
Over the next few days, he'll be visiting all the fur traders he knows who either have shops in town or are here for the Fair. He's establishing (or re-establishing) connections with them before he heads across the river. He's also looking for any lore that people have to tell about the prospects beyond the river.
He'll be competing in the Archery competition, also.
Mikhail finds one trader who has traveled to Ket to see if the local hunters managed to bag any good skins over the winter but he doesn't know the town all that well.
He goes to Uptown and checks out Monsoon Supplies but finds them a little too upscale for his tastes. It's only when he goes to Old Town and stops in at Leofric's Gear that he finds a kindred spirit. There are relatively few hunters in town, as Ket was more of a fishing village until the Army came and started laying the groundwork for Land Grant Day. Leofric notes that he has excellent intelligence on the migration patterns of fur-bearing animals on this side of the river, and would pay well for information on what animals are on the other side.
Leofric doesn't have much intel on the west. He's heard the usual stories from the soldiers ("everything is the same as over here, except giant-sized!") but nothing else.
If you're going to compete in the Archery competition, make some rolls!
