week one
week one  It's May, 1842, and the trail ahead stretches as far as you can see. Your destination still seems like an even farther off dream with as slowly as the wagons go, but at least you have good company... Right? You're traveling through Missouri this week, and it seems like it will be a quiet trip. WEATHERThis week, suggested activities include Hunting, Wagon Maintenance, and Cooking. On Tuesday, there will also be a chance to ford the Blue River. The river is shallow, and conditions are good. Good luck and safe travels! graveyard RNG selections are due at 5PM EST on October 21st. |
did u mean tuesday...

The water looks clean enough. Look, it's nice and blue!

wheezes.... yes...
You do know that diseases don't exactly show up as neon-colored patches in the water, yes? It could very well look clean, but a dead ox may be just around the riverbend.

As long as we fish it out to eat it, it'll be fine!
[But if it's going to kill the ox it would probably kill them too...]
Bad water's supposed to look murky and gross and have scum floating around, anyway. So this is okay. I bet we could even drink it! Are you thirsty?

No! No, I am not thirsty, and I'm certainly not thirsty for water that flows downstream. You're absolutely going to die first if you're this reckless, you know? [IF HE ONLY... KNEW]
