4: You find a full bag of sugary cereal! Sweet!
5: You discover a stack of dinner trays that look like they were freshly cleaned before this all started. Might be a cool shield or sled. Or you could always eat off of it...

If you wish to complete this in a group:
- You will still need to scavenge in two different locations, but each player must roll a 1d6 in that area.
- Example: Corey and Charlie wish to scavenge together. Corey (by OOC rolling) chooses the lecture hall. Both Corey and Charlie's players need to roll 3d6 in the lecture hall to scavenge. They finish that area. Charlie (by OOC rolling) chooses the bookstore. Both Corey and Charley's players roll a 3d6 in the bookstore to scavenge.
- All posts must be filled in with RP before it is considered complete for either player. ALL POSTS. Meaning, if Charlie's posts are filled in but Corey's aren't, neither Corey nor Charlie can mark that quest as complete.
