Equipment
You wear a Crystal Star Pendant (Special Item). Before leaving the Guildhall, you are given an Envelope that contains the Guildmaster’s message to the Kai (Special Item), and a pouch of gold. To find out how much gold is in the pouch, pick a number from the Random Number Table. Now add 10 to this number. The total equals the number of Gold Crowns inside the pouch, and you may now enter this number in the Gold Crowns section of your Action Chart. The message is carried inside your robe, and you are given a backpack in which to carry any four of the following items:
- Blanket (Backpack Item)
- Healing potion (Backpack Item) This potion restores 2 ENDURANCE points to your total when swallowed after combat. There is enough for one dose.
- Rope (Backpack Item)
- Torch (Backpack Item)
- 2 Meals (Backpack Items) Each Meal takes up one space in your Backpack.
- Tinderbox (Backpack Item)
- Bottle of Wine (Backpack Item)
You also possess a Short Sword (Weapon) which you carry in a scabbard.
