The air in the foothills was already pleasantly refreshing to the head and heart – a far cry from the clouds of city dust and the musty smell of the forest. Taking several deep breaths, Veserod felt at home for the first time in a long time. In his native village, hunters and even women with children, who went out to collect firewood, water, or herbs, never carried anything more than what was absolutely necessary for their task – weapons and containers. Therefore, Gregor's special equipment was a novelty, and Veserod was eager to try it out. Nevertheless, before that, Veserod wanted to take a short walk at the foot of the mountain, to soak in the atmosphere of the place, and perhaps find some small game.If either I or Gregor can identify any herbs, we can collect those too.
I will move steadily to the right, up to the second-to-last or last tree. Gregor can hang around somewhere nearby, within 3-4 squares or so, as he sees fit. I hope I don't need to describe every move, and we can just set the course until we encounter something or something interesting happens.
— So, can you handle it, or do you need my help?
