Exploring the Western Plains

After the group joins back together at Oleg's the plans are set to ride out into and map the Western plains.

With the trading post hours behind you the plains seem endless and vast.

As you look over the the open plains in front of you, there is no sign of any trees or hills, just open grasslands.

The sky is clear and a group of birds circle and glide through the sky above the new hex D1...

Looks like fair weather and a family of hawks feed from these plains suggesting plentiful game...

Exploring the Western Plains

This time Raz seems to be experimenting with percussion instruments. After a few false starts and a rather unfortunate attempt at playing a triangle he settles for a regular drum and beats out a steady rhythm while he toys around with various lyrics for a marching song.

None of it makes any sense in its incomplete state but the beat is at least steady enough to not be unpleasant and helps keep everyone moving along at the same pace.

Exploring the Western Plains

Riding his grey horse Linta, Filarion gives the horse his lead to tire it out a little before they got into more dangerous territory. It was obvious that the animal loved to run, and the elf was more than happy to let it get it out of his system. Truth be told the elf wanted to jump off and run himself, but that was the crux of sentience, knowing when not to let your animalistic urges out.

He didn't let the beast get too far from the main group. Linta was just lead in a large loop around them for about half an hour before coming back into line, the horse's energy tempered. Smiling broadly, he relaxed into the rhythm of the ride.

Exploring the Western Plains

The column of adventurers ranged across the grasslands with two tasks in mind, but in reality they were drawn by the unknown.  A restless curiosity pushed them to see what was beyond the next hill or thicket, to fill the empty spaces of the map.

Drezghl rode parallel to the party, close enough to shout to them but far enough to give them time to prepare for a threat if he discovered one.  He also kept an eye out for signs of game, hoping for something large enough to feed the party with only one or two kills. He had packed a week of rations, but fresh food was always welcome.

Exploring the Western Plains

The day is mild, the grasslands has a large amount of a naturally occurring wild radish and carrot plants the large leafy tops are dotted all in the knee deep grasses.

The hawks continue to circle overhead as you note a large number or profusion of holes in the ground about the right size for rabbits or maybe foxes.

this appears to be the work of prairie dogs

This large warren extends for almost the entire area which may mean that this is one huge community of prairie dogs, or many banded together.

A quick forage of this land reveals the plethora of wild turnips, carrots and even wild onion and garlic.

There is enough to feed the entire group and the animals...

Riding up beside Octavia, the elf had to give Linta as sharp tug on his reigns. The horse defiantly shook it's head and bumped into her horse as it asserted some of it's dominance onto her's. "Stop that!, he says, giving the reigns another yank to get it to turn away.

Smiling in an apologetic way, he rides for a little beside her making small talk to the cleric."

Drez noticed the prarie dog holes and commented, mostly to himself.

"We could probably make due with few of these if we had to. The native forage is generous today."


He stopped to gather the turnips and carrots as they presented themselves for collection.   Never losing sight of the party.

Exploring the Western Plains

You’re riding  through this section of the Kamelands, you see something greyish caught on a shrub some distance away.  Upon closer inspection, the greyish thing seems to be a section of the shed skin of a snake.  The section is roughly three feet by four and appears to be just a fragment of the entire shed skin.  As you continue on your explorations, you find five more pieces of the shed skin—all some scrapped off on rocks, others left in a widened hole of a pairie dog burrow.  Some are as large or larger than the one you found first—but no further signs of the giant snake.

It is around midday when you find the last piece of the snakeskin.

Drez stopped to collect the snake sheds as they went along, figuring that they may be useful later on.  He examined the skin, folded the pieces carefully, and rolled them up like a scroll.
