Accepted!

You finally arrive in the small town, ready to begin your journey. Before doing anything, though, you check your backpack to make sure everything you had packed is still intact. Thankfully, everything is fine.

Inventory:

Small backpack - Capacity: 15 - Remaining space: 10
1 tent
1 canteen of water
1 sandwich
1 lasso
1 coin pouch - 500 gold coins

You also remember that you had bought a small stables only an hour or so of a trek away, capable of holding 10 horses.

What do you decide to do first?

The trek to the stables was rather uneventful, but you did notice a river within sight of the stables. You take note of that, figuring it would be quite useful. The stables itself are as expected. They appear to be newly built and have pastures large enough to fit the same amount of horses as there are stalls, 10. The hay you ordered has been placed accordingly, as has the bedding and tools. The only thing that stands out to you is the the empty tackroom - well, that and the empty stalls.

(It's totally fine don't worry. Putting details goes a long way, as long as you're actually doing something different than your last post + interacting with something ^^)

He bumps you with his nose, making you topple over. He looks to his herd and then back at you, standing tall and still. He appreciates your thoughtfulness, but he doesn't trust you enough to let you meddle with his herd.

Loyalty +5

You search the bed and find the key under the mattress. Success!

I rush to the chest excited to open it

You wander the town, quickly finding an inn and beside it, a general store. The store should have whatever you need.

You kneel down and slot the key into it's hole. It clicks and you open the chest to find... a few antique dolls, dressed in all sorts of handmade clothing. You think you can see a little box at the bottom of the chest, though.
