Chapter 2 Cont’d – Upriver to Sites Unknown - Y1, M4, D9 -> D12 What did I forget last time?

We’d also normally have rolled for loot here, but since we were attacked by wolves, I’m neither going to roll for loot or ‘unusual finds’ from our travel encounter. When we face more intelligent foes, we’ll be rolling here. We didn’t need to do this for the starter scenario and I handled t...
