Høle

The DM: The image gives the appearance of the landscape that Høle occupies, looking west. Høle is real, in Norway. The forest cover would be denser, so if you will imagine a tiny village set about the center of the image, surrounded by a thick forest, that gives the appropriate scene.

The weather is yet cool, though the temperature is dropping, as it is just past 5 bells in the afternoon. A light breeze continues to blow from the northwest, rolling round the mountain on the pic's left. The sky has developed strato clouds but no rain has fallen since this morning. It is still May 22nd.

What can I do to help the party decide what they want to do next?

Provisions

Vafrandir: What a beautiful place! I would like some input from the party on our supplies and the Cargo page. I picked up some extra food in Stavanger for a total of 151 lbs, but with 6 people still on board that could go quickly. I doubt a small village like this has anything available. Speaking of availability, we are now without a competent sailor. It's a long shot, but what are our options in Høle? Can we hire anyone to come on board? A sloop like this is too valuable an asset to simply leave behind, especially given our amount of supplies.

The DM: Sorry. It was Engelhart's boat; he has taken it with him. So you and all your gear are on the shore here.

Vafrandir: That answers that! Hm. I'll need to mull that over.

Character Skills

The DM: If you would like to retcon your application of Athletic skill to something else, Vafrandir, that would be acceptable, as it was my responsibility to make a change, not yours. I am sorry myself; the sailing skills are excellently constructed now and I am disappointed I'm not going to be able to use them.
