## Inspect

An old abandoned cart covered in moss. A few empty boxes are scattered around, probably looted a long time ago.

## Take the Wood (x1)

**Note: This is a 'red' option, meaning the 'entity' will disappear once this action is taken!**

Relevant Skills: **Scavenging, Stealth**

You start plucking planks out of the old cart. They would be of more use for you than staying here in the wilderness.

+  Wood

* **Take More (Stealth)**

Failure
You were almost done dismembering the cart when you hear a noise behind you. You hear a big "PLONK". An axe sinks into the wood, where your head was just seconds ago. You dodged it out of sheer luck! Several armed men circle the cart. You have no choice but to fight.
(A fight with randomized enemies commences.)
Success
You were almost done dismembering the cart when you hear people talking behind you at a distance. They haven't noticed you yet.

* **Fight**

You throw the planks away and prepare yourself for battle.
(A fight with randomized enemies commences.)
* **Flee**

You run for your life with the wooden planks you managed to pick up.
+ Stealth Experience

* **That's Enough**

With arms full, you take the way back to camp. As you walk away, you hear a group of armed men gathering where the cart was. You keep going, weary of your surroundings.
## Search Around (x1)

**Note: This is a 'red' option, meaning the 'entity' will disappear once this action is taken!**

Relevant Skills: **Scavenging, Hunting**

You search the vicinity for the shipment of the cart. All the boxes you walk by are cracked and empty. You spot some old blood stains on the ground. They seem to lead somewhere.

* **Keep Searching for Loot**

Looks like trouble... you avoid the trail. You jump from one empty box to another. You were about to give up when you stumble upon a small bag covered with dust. You pick it up. When you stand up, you hear men yelling in the direction of the cart. You sneak up and see a group of armed men gathering around the cart. They are busy dismembering it. You carefully avoid them and walk back to camp.

* **Follow the Blood Trail (Hunting)**

You search the vicinity for the shipment of the cart. All the boxes you walk by are cracked and empty. You spot some old blood stains on the ground. They seem to lead somewhere.
Failure
Following the trail is hard. Really hard. Whoever left it was here several days ago maybe weeks. At some point you lose all sight of blood. You're getting tired. You decide to head back to camp and go back to the cart another time. When you walk past its location, it's gone. Someone must have retrieved all of the wood.
+  Depression,  Fatigue
Success
The trail leads you to a cliff. You spot signs of battles, animal prints... wolf ones... A small track allows you to safely reach the bottom. There, a dead wolf and man await you. The only valuable thing in this hole is the wolf itself. You get your knife out and skin the animal. You're getting tired. You decide to head back to camp and go back to the cart another time. When you walk past its location, it's gone. Someone must have retrieved all of the wood.
+  Bones,  Pelts
+  Depression,  Fatigue
