Determine the Path
Using the appropriate map(s), determine the total number of days travelled. Any amount of time spent in a special terrain affects at least one travel segment. For example, if the travel measures a distance of 5 days but one day's length crosses into Mountain-lands then that day's length takes three days to travel, so the total travel time is 7 days.
The Threshold for the extended test needed for a Travel is equal to the number of days travelled plus the number of heroes.
Prepare for the Journey
Each hero makes a T8 test of either Craft, Know or Guide in order to make Preparations. Your initial Preparations are equal to your Wolf Totem value, +1 for each success on the roll (including Bonuses).
Strike Out
The current target number for the skill rolls is known as Difficulty, and starts at T8.
Starting with the hero with the highest Preparation value, a hero nominates a skill in the Wolf column and makes a test equal to the current Difficulty. If you fail the test, you may spend Preparations to increase your result until you succeed. You may also invoke the appropriate Totems (if available) in order to succeed.
If you succeed, increase the Count by one, +1 for each Bonus rolled.
If you fail, then you must choose: Reduce your Resolve by 1; Increase your Danger by 1; increase your Encumbrance by 1 (to your maximum encumbrance) or increase the Difficulty by 1 (to a maximum of T12).
Then the next hero has to use another skill in the Wolf column with the above rules. Once all four skills have been used, then any skill in the Wolf column may be selected, as long as its not the one most recently used.
Criticals
If you make a Critical success or failure on the above tests, you must immediately make another test, called a Wilderness test. The current Difficulty is used for this test. The value of the selected skill die is used for this test, and the table below outlines the results:
| Roll | Skill Tested | Description | Success | Failure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Player's Choice | See Below | Use effect below. | Danger in the Wild (see below) |
| 2 | Survive | Forage for Supplies | +1 to Preparations for everyone | -1 Resolve for everyone |
| 3 | Journey | Hard-going | +1 to Count | -1 to Preparations for everyone. |
| 4 | Guide | Short-cut | -1 to Threshold | +1 to Danger for everyone. |
| 5 | Hunt | Surprised | +1 to Preparations for everyone | -1 to Resolve for everyone |
| 6 | GM's choice | Unfortunate Circumstances | Player's choice from above | Danger in the Wild (see below) |
Danger in the Wild
If you fail the Wilderness test and get a Danger in the Wild result then the heroes will meet some sort of dangerous being in the wild. The Rating of whatever they meet should be close to (within 1) of the failing hero's Danger rating.
