**'''Navigation''' The character can take the position of the sun and stars to determine roughly where he is. He gains a +4 bonus on proficiency throws to avoid getting lost in the wilderness. He can serve as a navigator on a seagoing vessel as described in Specialists.
 
 
**'''Survival''' The character is an expert at hunting small game, gathering fruits and vegetables, and finding water and shelter. The character forages enough food to feed himself automatically, even when on the move, so long as he is in a fairly fertile area. If he is trying to supply more than one person, he must make a proficiency throw (as described in Wilderness Adventures), but gains a +4 bonus on the roll.

The sword is masterwork and grants a non-magical +1 bonus to the attack throw. It's made of some unknown metal that reflects light like mother-of-pearl.
 
Spear +2 from the Candle
 
Shield +1 (a beaten bronze shield with an ouroboros set into the perimeter in jade)
 
 
 
Hosfai also owns an arbalest.

Purchased Gifts
 
*He pauses first at the marketplace, where he buys a delightful scarf from eastern lands in Mayaz's favorite colors, to gift his fellow cerves upon his return. Despite its beauty, it's made of material that will weather their hardy life on the plains.
 
*Not one to forget his other friends, he purchases Ishka a wicked-looking dagger with an obsidian blade and a hilt of black bone, gets P'zev the Hairless a fancy shaving kit as a joke, and purchases a primer of pressed plants of the lands south of Junction for Hira of the Seven. For his master, he finds soft, warm headgear fashioned like a wolf's head that is meant as sleepwear. Karag told the cerves a month ago that his least favorite part of camping in the wilderness was how cold his ears got at night, and Hosfai thinks the seaman will appreciate the wolf motif.
 
*He also gets Pantera a small panther carved from a rare black stone and for Anbet the Younger he purchases an intricately carved flute. For Volo, one of their newest comrades, he purchases a fine blanket.
 
*For himself, he buys a set of bone dice, that he will no longer need to borrow any from Qutai's tribesmen. Hosfai suspects that his luck at the dice games will improve when his opponents are no longer choosing for him what dice to roll.
