A fine, persistent drizzle dampens your clothes and slicks the muddy ground as you leave Wytchway behind. The sky above is a heavy, leaden gray, and the damp cold nips at your skin. Yet, despite the dreary weather, morale remains incredibly high. Your hearts are light with anticipation, and the air is thick with great expectations for the journey ahead. Your footsteps and muffled chatter echo through a harsh, unforgiving landscape carved with rugged hills and deep, mist-shrouded chasms.
After hours of navigating this steep, mountainous terrain, you finally reach the landmark known as the Hand and Horn. According to your directions, this is where you must turn south.
However, as you look in that direction, you face your first real challenge. The beaten road continues stubbornly forward, but to the south, there is no visible path at all.
Peering closer through the gray mist at the jagged cliffs, the truth becomes clear. The environment here is unstable, and it appears that a massive landslide in recent decades has completely reshaped the landscape. Tons of fallen rock, earth, and overgrown debris have buried the old trail entirely, leaving you stranded at a dead end with nothing but steep gorges and wild terrain ahead.
1. Are you cracking jokes to keep morale up, grumbling about the wet boots, or focused and serious on the path ahead? Describe your character's general demeanor right now.
2. Instead of picking a skill, tell me what you actually do. Are you scrambling up the side of the unstable slope to scout from above? Are you probing the base of the rubble with a crowbar or staff to listen for hollow echoes beneath? Are you searching for displaced tree roots that might show where the path used to lead, or trying something completely outside the box?
Add a skill roll you think best represent what could go wrong with your action and please do roll twice - as mentioned in Session 0 I may apply advantage or disadvantage to the roll

Dear players I would like you to do two things with your first post in this game thread:1. Are you cracking jokes to keep morale up, grumbling about the wet boots, or focused and serious on the path ahead? Describe your character's general demeanor right now.
2. Instead of picking a skill, tell me what you actually do. Are you scrambling up the side of the unstable slope to scout from above? Are you probing the base of the rubble with a crowbar or staff to listen for hollow echoes beneath?
