The West Gate

Olin's Unidentified Piece

ROAD · 4 days · easy

Destination: The Tallow farm at the Lower Marsh (and home again)

The central challenge

A four-day round-trip to a farm two days south. The farmer has dug something up. Olin needs the walker to examine it, judge it, and negotiate a buying-price (or walk away). The reward scales with the negotiation.

Olin will buy almost anything from a farmer's plough. Most are worth a copper. One in twenty is worth a season's keep. You will not always know which. -- P
