You finally arrive in the small town, ready to begin your journey.

I head towards the tack shop and general store, intending to browse for anything that will be helpful while exploring.

I search the room for a key first

I wave at him and try to seem friendly as I pack up the tent and walk to a meadow

(no worries lol)

You look through your bag and are disappointed to see that you have no treats. As you continue to back off, he relaxes a bit more and is no longer pinning his ears.

You reach the general store first, admiring the multitude of shelves stocked with everything from food to camping supplies. It has clearly been stocked with travelers like you in mind.

Anticipating a long time spent searching the wilderness I decide to buy 3 more sandwiches and a warm blanket before heading to the tack store in search of more taming supplies.

You find a key folded carefully inside a paper in the center of the desk. The key seems to be the right size and shape to open the box from earlier. The paper contains a short message: My dear daughter has taken my favorite jewelry box. Try as I might, I cannot find it. She has hidden it well. I will be long gone by the time anyone comes by this message, so if it is ever found, they may keep its contents.

(what do you mean, "to a meadow"? Just any random one or do you mean to walk down to the meadow the stallion is in?)

You bring the sandwiches and warm blanket to the clerk, a bored looking teenage girl. "24 coins, please." She says, grumbling something under her breath about having to help her dad when it's so nice outside. You head to the tack shop down the street and a man rushes up to greet you. He has an accent that you can't quite place. "'Ey! I'm Stan the Tack Man! How can I help you?"

You have gained the following items:
-Sandwich x3
-Warm blanket
At the expense of:
-24 coins

I'm headed out to the mesa in search of horses. I don't suppose you know any good places to look or easier paths through the desert?

I'm also buying:
2 halters
1 lead rope
5 horse treats
