The Warriors pass through a region of bleak swampland, and strange gasses from the swamp water assail them.
Each Warrior must pass a Toughness Check (1d6 + Toughness, score 7 or higher) or is struck with severe nausea and is at -1 Toughness for the next adventure, unless they pay 1d6x100 to a healer at the next Settlement for a cure.

The Warriors come upon an empty, thatched cottage, which is the perfect place to rest and regain their strength.
If they choose, they can add 2 extra weeks to their journey and heal one non-magical affliction each, such as a broken leg, disease, or poison.

A vast cliff confronts the Warriors, blocking their intended path to the Settlement.
The Warriors can go directly to the next adventure, or go around, adding 1d3 weeks the travel time.

The Warriors are amazed to come upon a gleaming City on the horizon. This is not on their maps, and as they get closer, they learn from the residents that it’s a brand new Settlement in the area.
The Warriors can stop here if they choose, but everything in the City is 50% more expensive than normal. However, the City is nevertheless bustling with commerce, so you may add 1 to all Or, the Warriors can continue on their journey, with one week added to their travel time.

The way ahead splits into three roads; each heading in quite a different direction. This isn’t shown on the map! You make camp here and try and figure out which path to follow, but there is not much information to work with…The current Leader (use the Leader from the last Adventure if a new one hasn’t been chosen) must make a decision. Make an Initiative Test for the Leader, requiring a 7+ to pass (1d6 + Initiative characteristic, a total of 7 or more is a pass). If the Leader passes the test, then they pick the correct road and make good time. A fail indicates that the wrong road has been chosen and the Warriors must add 1d3 weeks to their journey! If one of the Warriors in the party has a compass (for example, purchased from a Sea Port), then the Leader may add a +1 bonus to this roll.
You haven’t seen daylight for – how long? – and the heavy, oppressive air of the forest and murky light have caused you many a wrong turn. Now you are travelling on some tiny goat path through the middle of nowhere, will you ever reach the open road again?If the total rolled is 5 or more, then the party make it out of the woods without significant delay. A failure indicates the journey taking an extra week, and a natural 1 on the dice signifies an extra two weeks instead as the Warriors get thoroughly lost!
The Warriors travel through a lightly wooded area when they come upon a crude log cottage built by a stream. Smoke from the chimney indicates that someone is “home”. The Warriors knock on the door hoping to be offered some fresh water and perhaps lunch.
An elderly blind man greets the Warriors. He invites the Warriors in and they enjoy a nice mutton stew together. The hermit gets along remarkably well on his own, but if any of the Warriors own a Pet Dog, the Dog will take an instant liking to the Hermit, and everyone agrees it would make him a fine companion. The Warrior can leave his Pet Dog with the Hermit if he desires. If more than one Warrior wishes to leave his Pet Dog, roll to see who gets the privilege.

There are sites of power dotted throughout the Old World dedicated to half forgotten spirits of earth and forest, of animal hunter. Such sites leak the very stuff of life into the world, restoring the weary traveller.Roll 1d6 for each Warrior in the party, if they roll a 4+ they gain +1 Starting Wound permanently. A Warrior with a broken ankle or similar injury sustained on his travels will find it healed by the time they reach the settlement, and need not pay to have it rectified. In addition, each Warrior may negate the effects of one case of Poison or Plague that they are suffering from as the magic of the Circle leeches toxic substances from your blood.
You angrily take a swipe at a low-hanging branch in your way when you feel something heavy land on your shoulder. Frantically trying to twist to see what has landed on you, you feel a sudden hot pain at the base of your neck and immediately collapse.
Roll 1d6 to see what happens:
If you suffer the effects of Plague or Poison from the above events, then you may find a healer at the next settlement and attempt to have your injuries healed.
You may purchase goods from the trader just as if you were at the equivalent Trader in the settlement type rolled above, including rolls for quantity, stock, time wasting and so on.
