You're pretty exhausted from yesterday, and you wake about mid-morning. No one really bothers you to get up early.

He'll stretch out a bit, then walk around the camp and look for some food. He's starving from all the exercise last night.

You have some deer left over. You and your dad didn't quite finish it off...
Anyway, post-breakfast, your father finds you and James. "Boys, we need you two to pick up some stuff from town today. Might look a little hodge-podge, but I think you can handle it. Chain Breaker will go with you... just in case."
He hands James a list of items scribbled on a piece of newspaper, and hands Ulric a map with a clearly defined path. It's not a map to anywhere Ulric has been before... a neighboring town on the other side of the forest.

James is eating directly from a box of cereal. "Should have just let me keep the map last night, dad. Unless someone else needed to see it..."

"Needed to get Midnight Howler to check the route for me... as well as a few other things. Make sure you bring it back when you're done."

Ulric looks excited to have a mission, "Come on, let's go!" He runs and grabs Chain-Breaker from where ever he ended up.
"Hey, Chain-Breaker, you ready to go?"

James throws on a coat. "Let's go."

Chain-Breaker is waiting for you at the edge of the caern. He's in a small pickup--one of the few vehicles here.

Do we get to be in the front or the back?

Front.
The town you're going to is about half an hour down the highway. Pretty big place, bigger than your hometown for sure.
Chain-Breaker pulls in at the local Wal-Mart. "We'll walk from here."

James follows along. "What exactly are we getting?"

"That's what I was wondering."

"Ah... the essentials." James says. "So is it a fork that isn't stainless steel, or a steel fork that isn't stainless?"
