Horace had found himself, somehow, back in the pantry. He had quickly (and a bit haphazardly - who really needed an entire cheese wheel? Not Horace, certainly) gathered his food and saddled Shoebox. Shoebox, of course, puffed his barrel chest out until Horace snorted loudly, scaring him into deflating. What a d**k of a horse. He stroked a hand along Shoebox's dappled haunch, speaking in low, soothing tones. "Yes, Shoebox, you're a right idiot, you pretty thing. There, there, I like dumb things." Eventually he was up on Shoebox and heading out. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 33/ Your total food value from all party members added. YOUR HP: 30/30

Melvin had riffled through a bag that had, to the lesson he would be making to the person, been left unsupervised. They were all creatures in some nature and anyone in the wild would know never to leave food unguarded. Luckily for whoever it was, they had pantries back home.
Bag over his shoulder, he tied it onto Pepper, a gray horse with black spots, and turned her to the trail. He had been successful before with artifacts, but it seemed words was spreading fast. He had to wonder when supply would dry out and he would be left wondering what he had missed due to poor planning.
On the trail, he noticed another hunter ahead, and slowly moved his horse to catch up. "Seems everyone off to find the treasures in the hills." He said, eyeing the man up and down. Average build. No heavy labor. Lank. Not malnourished from what he saw. No scarring due to disease or burns. He could hear no coughing on wheezing.

Quote: Rolling a 1: You accidentally slip, almost fall to your demise off a mountain cliff, and drop some of the food! Roll 1d6 to see how much food you lost. Horace was startled by the seemingly sudden appearance of the other knight. He waved a greeting and opened his mouth to speak. But, for as little as he was actually startled by Melvin, Shoebox was utterly flabbergasted. He whinnied in alarm, side-stepped and began to slide on the sheets of slate rock that lined the mountain pass. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 33/ 70 YOUR HP: 30/30

It was just so, so horribly unfortunate that Shoebox had side-stepped into Melvin's horse. Shoebox was not a small stallion. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 31/ 70 YOUR HP: 30/30

[ Step 1: The trek forwards ]
Poor reflexes. The man was a mess when reacting quickly and his horse should have been put down or given to feed the masses. It rammed it's massive girth right into Pepper, who already was a nervous Nellie.
Crying out, she tumbled back and on her side, throwing Melvin off his horse.

For the second day, he watched as his horse ran down the road.
He wanted horse stew more and more these days.
Instead, he stood up, brushing off his garments before lookin at the other man. "You aren't much of a knight if you can't control your own horse." The tone was not directed at himself. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 36/70 YOUR HP: 30/30

Quote: Rolling a 3: Your horse gives up on you, running away. Every turn you take, you must subtract another additional 5 food from the caravan. Seeing the mare slip made Shoebox anxious. He neighed, chomping testily at his bit. And suddenly, Horace was sliding off as Shoebox took off. That ******** horse. He looked at Melvin and crossed his arms. "You might have a point, but Shoebox is a delicate beast. He will wait for me back at the castle." Horace thought he'd wait. Hoped might be a better word. "Anyway, hello, I'm Horace." And Melvin was stuck with him. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 26/ 70 YOUR HP: 30/30

"Optimism in the time of darkness. Aren't you a treasure." Melvin said sarcastically. Maybe the man hit his head on the fall or maybe he favored denial. "Let's hope the other apprentices don’t' get hungry and use that big horse for their next meal." To which he looked off at the direction Pepper went. A small flash of concern at both her being safe and hoping Horace's mule didn't jump her before he turned back around.
"Melvin." He said back. "On the road for those artifacts?" He said, checking his satchel and frowning as a dried biscuit was not a crumbled, dirty mess. He tossed it to the ground and checked to see that his food was still alright. It was for now.
He regarded him again, looking him up and down. He managed to recover quickly from the fall. Still retained his health. Had some vigor and energy despite hard times.
And something......kep this interest. Something....he couldn't shake off about this man.
Narrowing his eyes, he took a step closer and leaned in. "Are you......famous?"

Quote: Rolling a 4: You hear a horrific roaring noise and when you look behind you you see a terrifying beast made of fire chasing you! In your horror you lose half the remaining caravan food. He waved his hand airily around. He kicked a rusted metal helmet into a wall where it clanged hollowly. "And no... I'm not famous - at least I don't think so. Are you?" Horace swept a critical gaze over Melvin, complete with raised eyebrows - he had the hair for someone famous, maybe. Or something. Horace opened his mouth to speak, a wry smile twisting his lips, when suddenly he caught sight of a troubling glow. "s**t, not again," he muttered, He darted forward and grabbed Melvin's arm. "RUN."

[ Step 3: The Dwarven Mountains ](Rolling a 2: You accidentally step on a booby trap as giant axes start swinging at you! You take - 5 damage!)
"I change my previous overview. Delusional. Yes, that seems better a fit." He said, tapping his finger against his chin as he appraised Horace more and more. His finger paused mid chin tap when he was asked if he was famous. "No……." Then he narrowed his eyes. "….but what have you heard." It all depended HOW he was famous and he wasn't so sure who Horace had been speaking to and if he should know about it. Melvin didn't exactly FEEL famous, but he did feel a bit more important than some others he had seen.
The smile had him pausing, waiting to hear something when he was grabbed and then dragged forward in a rush that was not close to his own pacing. It was a good thing he had long legs, but he resisted on the principle that he didn't like being yanked here and there without reason.
As he pulled back, said reason was heard with a pop of embers and Melvin turned in time just to see the flickering maw lapping at his cloak.
He now matched Horace's speed as he moved on ahead. "What did you do?!!!" He called to the man because the beast being here was clearly his fault.
Since he was too preoccupied with looking behind, he did not look ahead as they went up the mountain. His foot hit a off stone and in a moment he felt the whoosh of a giant axe that went right between them. Melvin jumped to the side before their interlocking arms were clipped and any hand holding would be off the stable permanently.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He called out at him, continuing to run up the hill with him. That axe had to be Horace's fault too.
