Muleboy, scene 5

Note: Scene prep, has been moved to the bottom, as it's getting larger

Scene, main

• Southern Borderlands, Febrar the 1st
• A cold overcast morning, plagued by strong wind

We're trying, mule and me. It's bleepingly cold, bones freezing. I'm wrapped in Old-Grump's blanket, 'cause my tatterns aren't enough. The blankets aint enough either. I'm not afraid because St Konan leads me. And if I doubt it I can open the book and read it. If I was given the Book of books and the knowledge to read it, how...? Oh God, you love me: help your kid.

I've just kissed the mule. It's scared. It can't read the Book of books, it can't trust St Konan as I trust him. But it trusts me. The snow is swirling around, howling. YOU CANT SCARE ME!!!

See over there, among the pines? That's a hamlet, all ruined. War did that. I'm moving there fast.

Q: Any trouble? Rolling 2d, the higher the more trouble. Got a 4, oh well.

Just got into a... well, the best place. It used to be a house, now it's two walls and some rubble. But it's stopping the wind...

Just led the mule to one corner, it'll be sheltered there. I'll get a bit of a wall with the rubble, see if I can make it?

Q: Can he? It seems simple enough 4- on 1d, got a 3 OK

I did it, I can't shelther the mule perfectly, but I made a bit of a wall, and I can get the tarp tied to two walls. I can make some fire, sleep here. Maybe. Good night.

Merlin's Oracle

// A simple list of hundred of verses, from which my oracle script chooses one at random

Thus said the Great Merlin:

- build a great and strong castle

Comment: With that wind... (see below)

• Q1: Does Kj need shelter? 4- on 1d6, likely, got a 4

• Q2: Does Kj tries to build a stone hut? 2- on 1d6, because Merlin seems to suggest it. Got a 6

• Q3: Does Kj tries to improve a cave or something? 2- on 1d6, got a 1. That's a yes.
