Country Road

**Country Road** is an event to build a road from Forest Path to Farmstead, providing an easier way through rather than going Underground.

## Requirements

* Korg is at home
* Ste has been sent to Bareshade

## Steps

 10. Go to the Forest Path and meet up at the worksite with the group (available only before 12:00).

## Plot

### Bareshade gets to work

Start by sleeping at home. You will receive a letter from Bernard saying he sent the workers to the Forest Path. He would like you to supervise them and make sure everything is fine. Blake will also send you what Ste asked for when they met in town.

Upon arriving at the worksite, the player is met with their first casualty: a bareshadian worker, Lenny, who got crushed under a log. The player can offer Restoratives and Remedies to decide Lenny's Fate, which is based on a point value system. You can give Lenny each of the following:

* Anti Bleeding Ointment: 2 points
* Health Potion: 1 point
* Health Potion (strong): 2 points
* Health Potion (corrupted): 1 point
* Muscle Ointment: 2 points
* Soothing Potion: 2 points
* Soothing Potion (strong): 2 points

The player's point total will then decide Lenny's fate:

* 11 or more: Lenny will instantly be fine
* 8-10: Lenny will need help to walk
* 4-7: Lenny will remain unconscious and be lifted to the tent
* 3 or less: Lenny will die

Other than Lenny's possible death, there are no gameplay effects. Either way, the day will end without any further incidents. Go back to sleep at your house.

### Jellies everywhere!

Not long after meeting the workers at the worksite, you and Logan see a swarm of Brown Jellies. One of the workers, Roland, seem to be throwing himself at the jellies willingly! It seems he's under the jellies' spell... You have 3 choices. Required items will be consumed:

* 1 Sanity Potion
* Intellect of 10 or more
* Agility of 8 or more
* Strength of 10 or more
 Fight
* 7 Restrain Potions
* Defeat 8 Brown Jellies in a row
 No idea

With that, the day ends. Go back to sleep at your house.

### Graple juice is great, but...

You wake up to the smell of graple. It makes for a delicious snack! Going to the worksite today, you are greeted by hornets. You learn that Torben dropped a whole barrel of graple juice to the worksite this morning and that Edmund had been stung! Rushing to Edmund, you can take care of Edmund or do nothing.

* Take care of him: you will lose 4 cloths to soak up the expressed venom, 2 antitoxins to stop the venom and 5 health potions to put him back on his feet.
* Doing nothing will lead to his death.

After that, the day **isn't over yet**; you must face off against the hornet's Matriarch (see article for choices):

Main article: Matriarch
With that, the day is over. Go back home and sleep.

### Let's celebrate!

Ste is at the door, waiting for you to wake up. He thanks you and goes back home. Korg tells you Logan is expecting you tonight with 25 beers and 10 meats for a small feast. Also, bring a mount companion. It'll be useful eventually. On your way to the camp, you meet 2 people whose wagon broke down. Arden and Geordi are traveling artists on their way to Northcrest. You invite them to the camp for the night. To thank the workers for their hospitality, Arden and Geordi put on a show. Go back home to sleep. Back at the worksite, then siblings are gone. Hopefully they'll get to Northcrest soon.

With that, the road is complete and the event is over!

## Outcome

* New Road now available.
* Garuik can be found on the New Road.
* Conversations with Bareshadians during the Fair.
* Roland, Edumnd and Lenny may show up at Bernard's shop during his "Offer him you services for a day" event, they may have other minor interactions in Bareshade and the may appear at the glory hole fence at night in Farmstead. Provided that you have saved all of them,
