a storm hit just as we were getting under way, resulting in a wagon and its supplies up in flames and two others in need of repair and loss in supplies. it was hard to know where to run first, the wagon on fire, the bosk that pulled it or the much needed supplies inside. kiah chose the bosk still harnessed to the burning wagon but couldn't get close enough in their panicked state. Master Wapike came to their rescue and saved their lives!
(that...pesky ST, wreaking havoc to teach lessons and create challenges and opportunities and if i haven't said it lately...i hate thunderstorms, lol)
*it was an intense/emotional time, an 'i can't believe this is happening' to a 'wow that was great' moments and more (the depth of loss of supplies and time) to be realized as r/p picks up again. it served as a good reminder of being careful in each and every step of the journey, like packing the supplies(and kiah's non-contribution due to falling asleep to that portion of the trip) and that your worst enemy may not be a raiding party you might have some control over the outcome but the weather that you can only react to. then there was the sloppiness of not having a lantern lit on one wagon contributing to a problem and then the danger of having one lit on another making another, aka...details details details...they can be your best friend or worst nightmare.. somehow last night they were a bit of both
