[ So, now that you have them, your new inventory for reference:

2 hunting knives, about 4 inches long blade wise. decent! made for skinning more than stabbing, but hey. beggars cannot be chooser.
1 crossbow. 2 bolts (reusable).
1 rabbit snare.

Anyway, there is no potions dealer wearing a cloak hidden away. The most obvious thing people seem to sell around here is food. Maybe if you went inside people's houses you could get some other supplies, but for some reason you don't want to beg strange animals to give you their stuff. To the mountain we go!

Well, it's the forest path first. As Lucas experienced briefly, the forest path is very nice. There's no overgrowth even as it winds between the trees, it's well lit, there's cute little flowers and mushrooms growing along it and the soft chirping of birds... The whole thing is like a soft picture book forest. And their walk matches it too! It's a trek, but it's honestly an enjoyable one. As they walk further in, they'll notice some things of course. For example, a sign that says MOUNTAIN AHEAD, some secret rabbit snares, a dead deer carcass in the middle of the path.

You know. Normal things.

The dead deer is missing a lot of skin and organs, but there's still enough left on that skeleton to make sure it's a deer! It is not wearing clothes, so probably it wasn't a person deer and just a regular deer. Right? It's ALSO right in front of a split path, which seems weird, because the sign seemed pretty sure there was only one path up ahead. There's also no sign to indicate which way is right, just a path that curves to the left and a path that curves to the right, but both are heading straight towards the mountain. ]
