⚔️ Day III: The Morning After
The fire burns low as you gather what remains of the stranger’s belongings.
His cloak is torn and stiff with dust, his pack light and weathered.
Inside, you find a small bundle of dried food: hard bread, salted meat, and a flask of water. Enough to last four days if you share carefully.
Near his hand lies a short sword, the hilt worn smooth from use.
You clean the blade.
The map is folded carefully in his grasp.
You study it by firelight, tracing faded ink lines and weathered symbols.
It shows lands with rivers, roads, and a few scattered settlements.
  • No names.
  • No mark of where you are.
Only a single note written in the dirt beside the man’s body:
Find John the Blacksmith Readi
The line ends abruptly.
No one speaks for a long while.
The night grows colder, the stars hidden behind drifting clouds.
You eat in silence and take turns keeping watch, the fire snapping softly against the dark.
For the first time since waking, you feel a fragile sense of direction, though not yet of safety.
When sleep finally comes, it is shallow and dreamless.
Dawn comes slow.
Pale light spills over the ridge, brushing the stone bridge and the dying embers of the fire.
The wind is softer now, carrying the faint scent of wet earth and the promise of a storm far to the west.
You wake one by one, stiff and sore, the fire little more than smoke and ash.
Somewhere in the distance, a crow calls.
And the dead man’s body, is gone...
But his last message still burns in your minds:
“Find John the Blacksmith.”
You look around,
You came from the wets
In the south, the world rises, and hills build slowly up.
In the east, you see a forest.
And in the north, you see a large column of smoke, probably a good day's march away.
🎯 What’s next?
You can travel north toward the smoke,
east into the forest, or
south toward the rising hills.
Or go back to where you came from.
You have food for 4 days
And a Short Swort
Plus 3 friends, or strangers?
North, towards the smoke
East into the forrest
South towards the rising hills
Or go back west
