West, somewhere in between

Neither high nor low risks seems like the most sensible solution here, that's at least what you think as you leave the valley and push eastward.

At first, the landscape is pretty much identical to the high lands you grew up in, amidst lush green forests and rolling hills. The terrain here is rugged, with dense foliage and small streams crisscrossing the area. The air is cool, and you see thick deciduous forests wherever you go.

The third day, however, the landscape does change radically. Thorn scrub forests, areas of low vegetation with thorny trees with short trunks and low, branching crowns that rarely meet to form a closed canopy, dominate the place as far as the eye can see.

You only took with you enough food for three days, so you should take some time to try to find something to eat.

Your options include:

a) Set traps to hunt small animals (Requires a Wits check)

b) Hunt a big animal (Requieres either a vigor check or a dexterity check. You will have a +1 bonus for having adequate tool ls for it; a spear and a bow, respectively)

c) Gather fruits, vegetables and roots (You will have a +3 bonus for being in a biome you have lived for a long time)
