Hemp Patch

This is a **Meadow** exploration event. It can occur multiple times per play through and offers several chances for a survivor to obtain Constitution  and Harvesting  Experience. It may also yield  Seeds,  Hemp,  Healing Plants and potentially  Bones. Talented gardeners can receive  Smelly Fertiliser and  Luck Charm, while skilled healers can get  Healing Dust. When interacting with this event a participating survivor risks incurring  Fatigue,  Sickness and  Depression, as well as the negative trait  Allergies temporarily.

## Inspect

You stumble upon a patch of hemp. The gods be blessed! With this plant you will be able to craft ropes, fabric, healing salves, pain killers and divination incense! It's a great asset for the camp.

## Harvest (x3)

Relevant Skills: **Crafting, Harvesting, Healing**

This variety of wild hemp is perfectly suited for crafting resistant fabric and ropes. Although you know you can also gather a few things for healing and divination purposes. Might be less potent than other hemp types though.

+ Constitution  and Harvesting  Experience.
+  Fatigue
+  Healing Plants  Healing Dust
Failure
You know the leaves can be used but you don't know how many you would need. You take a bunch. Some flowers fall apart when you pluck them, spreading their pollen. You feel tears building up as you sneeze several times. With a heavy heart, you leave a few leaves behind, hoping to stop the crying and sneezing... You curse your nose for its sensibility.
+  Fatigue  Sickness
+  Healing Plants
+ The survivor gains  Allergies for 6 days.

* **Gather Craft Material (Crafting)**

Success
Before cutting anything, you look for seeds. If you could farm them at camp it would significantly improve your quality of life. Then, you take your knife out and begin diligently cutting and removing all leaves from the stalks. That will make you save time to get the fibers out of the stalks at camp.
+  Fatigue
+ Constitution  and Harvesting  Experience.
+  Hemp
Failure
You cut the stalks from their root and gather them into a small bundle. You tie the leaves close to the stalk to make it smaller. You quickly remove the flowers and big leaves. When you carry the bundle on your shoulder, pollen spreads everywhere. Achoo! Your nose starts itching and your eyes swelling... Great... It's going to be a SPLENDID walk back to camp...
