ISOLR Spring 2

This is Day 2 of the In Search of Love and Riches solo campaign and is recorded using the Lonelog solo RPG notation.

6am

? 🔮 Campsite hazard? 1d6[6] -> Standing water.

-> 🦾 Effect: Body [2]. (-1 until Spring 4)

? 🔮 Weather? 1d6[1] -> Stormy ⛈️

=> -2 to Wayfinding, Foraging, Hunting rolls

(📝 **New day, what now?**
- So I didn't forget, I rolled for the Campsite Hazard first. It unfortunately reduced my Body attribute by 1. Which means any rolls using Body now only have two dice instead of three (at least until the effect expires). 
- Then...
- Roll for the weather:
- This time, there is an effect on game Moves! Ugh lol. )

Bayabas opened his eyes and immediately knew he was about to have a bad day. He felt chilled to the bone, and when he turned on his side, he spied a thin layer of water on the ground around him. Cursing, he quickly made to change his clothes. He could not believe he had made camp in such a foolish spot…

Thunder cracked overhead, and he cursed again. So much for a change in luck, he thought. It would help if he could find a settlement to seek refuge in today. He doubted he would be able to set a proper course in this weather, so he decided on a direction at random. Today he would go west and hope for the best.

Wayfinding (Hills, 6 hours) — Bayabas travels west

? 🔮 New hex terrain (Northwest)? Hills 2d6[8] -> Hills.

12nn

d: 🎲 Nature 1d6[4] => Miss => Stay in same hex.

d: 🎲 Encounter? 1d6≤2[5] => None.

(📝 **Wayfinding?** 
- The effect of the weather reduced my Nature roll to 1d6. I needed a 6 to succeed because you need at least two of the same value for a mixed success. 
- Since I failed Wayfinding, I'm stuck in the same hex as before. Boooo. 
- But no Encounter, yay.)

Bayabas stared long and hard at the moss on the tree directly in front him. It was shaped vaguely like a star, and he had seen it three times already. Rain continued to pour overhead, and dark storm clouds made visibility amongst the trees near impossible. He shut his eyes wearily. Clearly he was getting turned around and was not going to make any progress today. He would have to change tack.

Scan — Bayabas tries to scope his surroundings through the stormy weather

d: 🎲 Southwest hex? Observation 4d6[6,2,5,2] => Success!

? 🔮 Terrain SW hex? Hills 2d6[7] -> Hills.

? 🔮 Settlement? 1d6 ≥ 4: [4] -> Yes, settlement.

d: 🎲South hex? Observation 4d6[3,4,4,3] => Mixed success.

? 🔮 Terrain S hex? Hills 2d6[12] -> Barren.

d: 🎲 Northeast hex? Observation 4d6[5,2,3,3] => Miss.

d: 🎲 Southeast hex? Observation 4d6[1,2,3,2] => Miss.

(📝 **Scanning**
- Look, the effects from the Stormy weather sucked, so I figured I'd avoid the other Moves for now...
- When Scanning, you use the Observation skill, which has the underlying attribute of Sense. My Sense is 4, so I can roll 4d6. 
- In the first Scan, I got a 6, so that's a **Success**! That meant I could roll for the terrain of the new hex and also pick between checking for a Settlement or a Point of Interest. I picked the former, but sadly it failed. I might be able to check again when I actually go into the hex? 
- Notice that the result of the terrain is based on the terrain of the hex I'm currently in (Hills). 
- In the second Scan, I got two 4's. Since there are two results of a value that's 4 or higher, that's a **mixed success**. That means I can roll for the terrain of the new hex but nothing else. 
- In the third and fourth Scans, I **miss** entirely. There are matching values in the roll for Scan #3, but it's not 4 or higher. 

It kinda worked out that it showed all the results for the Scanning move? LOL. 

4pm

Camp — Bayabas winds down for the day

• 📦[4] Supply = -1 Supply from evening meal

d: 🎲 Observation 4d6[2,2,2,4] => Miss => Campsite hazard in AM.

d: 🎲 Rest? 1d6[6] => Uninterrupted rest.

(📝 **Camping skill check**
> I double-checked, and for camping it’s Nature or Observation. My Sense is higher than Wits, so I went with an Observation (Sense) check–not that it helped me…)

Bayabas looked around and felt a surge of hope when he realised that southwest from here was a settlement in the hills. He tried to see if he could make it what else was around him. To his south was barren land—he couldn’t make out if there was anything significant about it. Then any further attempts to scan the horizon ended in failure. Which made sense given the storm, so he tried to ignore the rising disappointment in the pit of his stomach.

Later, he found a spot that seemed to be somewhat protected from the pelting rain. He hastily set up camp and ate his meal. Miserable as he was, he was grateful to have a place to rest the night and that he had food to eat as well. That was at least something.

The night passed without incident, and Bayabas slept soundly through the raging storm.
