It cannot continue,and another successful ANIMAL HANDLING rollis required for the animal to recover and be ableto travel the next day. If this roll fails, there areno options other than to put it down.LEAD THE WAYEvery time you move on the map, you mustappoint one person to LEAD THE WAY. Thisindividual is called the pathfinder. The pathfindercan LEAD THE WAY and HIKE at thesame time, but they cannot also K EEP WATCH(see below). Usually, the same person will actas pathfinder for an entire Quarter Day, butnothing stops you from changing the pathfinderwhenever you enter a new hexagon.Every time you enter a new hexagon on themap, the pathfinder makes a SURVIVAL roll,modified by the PATHFINDER talent if she hasit. Success means you find a viable path intothe hexagon and you move on without anyproblems. Failure means that you still enterthe hexagon, but you suffer a mishap and mustimmediately roll on the table on the next page.DARKNESSIn the dark, travel through the wildernessis dangerous. Getting lost or choosing thewrong path is an ever-present risk. The pathfinder’srolls get a –2 penalty during the darkQuarter Days of the day, and everyone inthe group without the ability to see in thedark must make a SCOUTING roll – failuremeans they fall and take 1 point of damageto Strength.The winters are darker than the summersin the Forbidden Lands. In the winter, thereis light only during the Day, while all theother Quarter Days are dark. In autumn andspring there is light in the Morning and Day,while the Evening and the Night are dark. Insummer, darkness only reigns during theNight. See the table above.BACK AGAIN?If you return to a hex on the map where youhave been before, you don’t need to make anotherroll to LEAD THE WAY. It is up to you theplayers to keep track of where you have beenduring your journeys.147journeys
