Outlander (Pilgrim).

• Personality. Driven by a wanderlust that led her away from home. Places no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk — money and manners won’t save you from a hungry owlbear.
• Ideal. Change. Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must change with it. (Chaotic)
• Bond. She suffers awful visions of a coming disaster and will do anything to prevent it.
• Flaw. Violence is her answer to almost any challenge.

Active, 2nd level. Inspiration unspent, awarded for the lean-to on the first night.

Location: A murdered family’s farmhouse on the Tradeway, two days south of Fairhill. Condition: Full hit points. Second Wind and Action Surge available. Carrying: Chain mail, shield, quarterstaff — she swapped off the longsword, which turned Polearm Master live and made her damage bludgeoning. A share in roughly 830 gp. Open threads:

• She alone can find the cache left at the leucrotta lair four days back — 1,700 cp, three pewter ingots, three quarterstaffs, ~47 gp. Wanderer is what makes it recoverable.
• She feeds the party. Wanderer provides for six each day, which is the only reason losing both mules cost nothing. There is now a draft horse at the farm.
• She could not name the leucrottas from their tracks and said so rather than guessing. That gap is still open.
• Corian’s five-way split was agreed for the keep only; the road treasure is unclaimed.
• Corian has released anyone who wants to leave at Fairhill. Knows (exclusive): Her visions of a coming disaster. She has told nobody in the party what they show, and nine days on the road has not changed that.
