Much as in the previous area, the terrain provides some opportunities to dig up roots and mushrooms, and there are small rodents here and there to hunt. Additionally, there seem to be more bird nests both in the ground and bushes than there were down south. The number of birds in the sky also seems greater than before, but of course it's hard to say by how much. The fish (and molluscs) are plentiful in the big river, but not as much in the smaller one to the north.
The sun is now gradually approaching the western horizon. Even though winter is clearly not coming back, the peak noon warmth seems to be dying down a bit, and the night is expected to be chilly.
OOC:
Nutrition requirements (per sitting):
Bigs eats 2½ meals (due to today's Flaw Activation), other four Spritelings eat 1 meal each.
Total 6½ meals for the lunch and another 6½ for supper, for a net 13 needed by the end of the day (of which 3¼ you already have).
Gains per hour:
Nemma: Survival 2 -> 1.6 meals.
Smaugalir: Survival 0 -> 1 meal;
Bigs: Survival 0 -> 1 meal;
Snakey: Survival 1 -> 1¼ meals base, doubled for plentiful fish -> 2½ meals;
Mara (I'm treating Tracking as offering half the bonus to hunting for now): Survival+hunt 4 -> +2½ meals.
TOTAL GAIN PER HOUR: 8.6 meals.
After 1¼ hours of foraging (done by 15:15), you have gathered +10.75 meals, and you had had 3¼ meals of surplus from the previous hunt/fish/gather (perhaps held in a net during travel), for a net 14 meals in stash. Once done with lunch (another quarter-hour), it'll be 15:30 (and 7.5 meals remaining). Sunset is at 18:00.
