There was always something else to find. One more thing that needed to be retrieved.

Sherry was more than happy to do it. She liked these quests, these times away from the castle, testing herself in the wilderness. Just her and her horse.

So, she more than happily packed her bags, loaded up some foods, and saddled Stan. She made extra sure to try and tie her food down tight. She really didn't want to go losing any of it if she could help it.

"Alright. We are off again. Hopefully without much incident." She almost regretted saying the words, since she didnt' want to bring the wrong kind of luck down on her journey.

"Superstition," she told herself, urging Stan into a walk. It was little reassurance, though.

Today's weather was a little more gloomy than Sherry might have liked. Not that things were particularly cheery at any time, not with shadows and such lurking around. But today, Sherry didn't like it. It wasn't as pleasant as it had been before. She really wished she hadn't tempted luck earlier. If it decided to rain on her that would terrible.

It wasn't rain that made her day horrible though. No. It was a raccoon that jumped onto her arm and tried to maul her. Sherry dealt with the problem as deftly as she could, but it still hurt. She took a few moments to stop and bandage the scratches the animal had left behind. Was infection something she needed to worry about? She hoped not. She really didn't' want to lose an arm to a dumb raccoon.

The rocky countryside soon gave way to trees, and Sherry found that she had entered the forest.

She was ever mindful of spiders, and might have jumped once or twice at the prospect of them.

What really caught her attenion, however, was the roll of cheese she found. It was just sitting there, like it had fallen out of someone's pack. A few paces away, she also found a loaf of bread.

Either it was a trap, or some poor soul had lost their food. Sherry contemplated things. She could take the food, or leave it.

Not being one to waste things, her choice was clear.

The forest gave way to mountains. There was danger here, for she saw the remnants of other caravans that had passed through. She tried not to look too hard.

However. She did notice something strange. Something labeled "FOOD". So of course she stopped to investigate. It was plainly obvious that the previous owners would not be needing this anymore. They hadn't needed to eat in quite some time. So, Sherry, trying not to look at bodies, loaded her packs with even more food. Because you could never be too prepared.

The climb up the hill was steep. Too steep for her horse, but not so steep she had to crawl or anything. It was long, though. It took her what seemed like ages to climb to the top.

And when she did find the top, she found a very, very familiar old man. At least she thought it was the same one. Especially since he walked over and gave her a whole bag full of beef jerky. And then he was gone again. Sherry didn't really know what to make of it all. Was he ALWAYS there to give free food to the survivors? The first time she had though it was to help Jake, but now....maybe it was just...part of the prize for completing the quest?

Maybe that was too convenient.

Oh well. Little matter. She had herself some gauntlets to return to the castle.
