Map: Where would you like to go?
Let's see. What's to the south there? That looks pretty close.
Map: Soggy swampland - 800 meters due South
Yikes. Okay, what's um... Where's the nearest woodland?

Almanac: What would you like to know?
What kind of Fae are in the Scattered woods near here?
Almanac: 261 known species
Oh... so, hmm. Then, what's the most common species? Like, if I head over now, what am I most likely to run into?
Almanac: The common Dirtwyrm
Umm... no. I'm going about this all wrong. Can you tell me about some common exports sourced from the local Fae?
Almanac: Furrel pelts, Racaroon pelts, Andeer hide, Scattered Moose crown
Yikes. Definitely not. Anything less... gruesome?
Almanac: Maplehorn sap
Can I even catch one of those with a basic net?
Almanac: No

Journal:
Today was alright. Let's see... first I watered and tended the crops, that's always fun. Then I spent the rest of the day researching and planning out my first venture into the nearby woods. I would've liked to catch something today, but I haven't got a clue what I want.
In hindsight, I might've been a bit over excited to start collecting Fae. I should've focused on staying fed 'til the first harvest, building up some semblance of a steady income, and only then start worrying about Fae. I might've given myself a bit of a rough start, but that's alright. No going back now.
I just hope I don't have to resort to catching a critter for food.

Rations remaining: 3
