Naked like a filly

The air was cold on her wet fur, her body had adjusted to being in the water but now that she was out it was something different altogether. With no way to dry off she had to hope the sun would do its job, and the wind for that matter. Considering she had no clue where she was and the forest wouldn't allow her to fully dry she decided to walk along the shore, searching the ground for anything of value or food, she wasn't hungry at the moment but would need to find something sooner or later. Luckily she still had her waterskin and all the contents in her sachel..except for the potion of strength. It wasn't enough to save her from the creature but it was better used than forgotten.

She finds some feathers along the trail and decides to pick them, they might be useful to craft some arrows with later. She keeps an eye out for good-looking rocks and puts them in her satchel.

• +3 clusters of feathers (1 arrow per cluster)
• +2 sharp rocks
• +50xp

[Event: 16 caches of items, 4] 25xp
While she stuffs away the contents she checks the compass. It points somewhere ahead of her and decides she might as well follow. It starts pointing slightly to the right and suddenly turns, she walks a few steps back to see it turn ahead again, she kneels and traces her fingers through the sand and feels around. Her hands find a rope and she attempts to pull on it.

With some effort, she pulls a small box from the ground with a door attached to its side. She slides off the locking pin and reveals its contents:

• Day Rations x2
• A map
• 20 gold pieces

She stuffs them away except for the map and takes a good look at it. There is a compass marked at the current location with an arrow pointing towards somewhere in the forest, you can't recognize any of it but there is a clear x marked on the spot of some ruins. Glancing at her compass it too points in that direction so she decides to follow the trail.

[Failed perception] As the Centaurus enters the forest the sound of nature starts to surround her, various forms of life call this place their home, and activity seems to ever continue throughout night and day. It is by then that she fails to notice another entity entirely, through the forest an autonomous suit of armor marches along a trail until the Centaur approaches, it turns to face her drawing its sword. It is only when it speaks that she even notices its presence. [Event: 1 Powerful Ennemy, Animated suit of Armour]

"HALT, I urge you to comply. The forest needs to be repopulated.
In order to cross this road you have to pay the toll."

{What the.. how is this suit even talking.. let alone standing! There is no one in this thing.} And that's when it strikes.
