Your new scout's name is Arke, a wiry Meledorian with steely grey hair and a lean, scraggy face. He is an expert woodsman and with his help you are able to avoid all contact with marauding remnants of the chaos-horde. The journey to the edge of the Plain of Guakor takes nearly 100 hours, during which time you are able to conserve your food supplies by living off the land. In fact, so bountiful is the Nahgoth Forest that you are able to gather a surplus of food equivalent to 3 Meals (if you wish to keep any of this surplus food, adjust your Action Chart accordingly).

You share a Meal with Arke 4 and bid him farewell. Then you check your equipment and consult your map before setting off with trepidation across the barren Plain of Guakor.

Pick a number from the Random Number Table.

If the number you have picked is 0-6, turn to 202.

If it is 7-9, turn to 318.

[4] You do not need to erase a Meal from your Action Chart when sharing with Arke.
