Anyway, I don't understand the problem. The characters were tracking down food and they found some, what was the matter with that? Cows are made out of meat. Meat is food. Did the players think that cows were invented by people, and so don't exist in the wilderness? Were they roleplaying picky eaters?faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-41082431381675473332008-10-13T08:27:00.000-04:002008-10-13T08:27:00.000-04:00Yeah, tell us the rest of the story!

They found a small black bear and drooled at the thought of bear bacon. Unfortunately, they did not count on multiple fumbles and the bear getting in multiple crits... two characters died against this wee black bear and the others fled.James Mishlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588233931813111541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-46666221023239914382008-10-12T04:06:00.000-04:002008-10-12T04:06:00.000-04:00Nick, I think the very definition of adventurer is...Nick, I think the very definition of adventurer is someone who simply will not give up. At least, that's what I've seen in actual play.<BR/><BR/>I'd have loved a cow after the rations were gone -- steak today and jerky for the rest of the trip!<BR/><BR/>Good stuff, Rob; glad you have this blog so I can hear the old stories.

A cow would've been easy to take down, and would've provided plenty of food.<BR/><BR/>Maybe they should've given up on that trail after so many bad rolls, though.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358099916267465455noreply@blogger.com
