Adventurers can clear the roadblock over that many days with DC 12 to 15 Applied Force checks, reducing the amount of time taken by ½ per adventurer. On a failure, they still work through the day and make progress, but that adventurer gains Fatigue. Each day can be accompanied by potential, additional random encounters, ~~favoing~~ combat encounters from all the noise.

	Massive canine prints surface in the snow ~~and~~ a piercing howl can be heard, portending a distant [[shadow]]. This belongs to a lone, stray Fenrir, a terrifying creature that is more than a match for the current adventurers. Whenever this event occurs, it should result in any of the combat encounters, creatures summoned by the Fenrir, a snowstorm, or an avalanche. If Merip is with the party, it will trigger his special event. Otherwise, the Fenrir keeps its distance, uninterested in such a measly group. The adventures may instead make DC 15 DEX/Sneaking checks to avoid the creature’s notice, preventing any of the previous events from triggering.

	Adventurers can have Fasik lead them, or if they prefer they can track the stegosaurus with DC ~15-18 AWR/Tracking. It takes an entire day to locate the dinosaur, as it's about 10 miles outside the village. Once found, Fasik will approach and calm the stegosaurus, then mount it, guiding it back to the village. If they’d like to try instead, adventurers can calm the stegosaurus with a DC ~18-20 AWR/Animal Handling. If successful, Fasik will still do his trick to make it willing to be mounted, and the adventurer who calmed it can ride the stegosaur back.

	The stegosaurus is weak, and currently only has 30 maximum hit points, can only take 1 action, and will only fight if its forced to defend itself.During the return trip, adventurers can roll DEX/Sneaking to avoid notice from hostile fauna. Have each roll against a DC of 15. If at least ½ + 1 of the adventurers pass, they make it back after a day of travel with no issue. If not, they’ll be hunted by some hungry dinosaurs.

	The Velociraptors in this encounter are much more interested in attacking the stegosaurus than anything else, and will only engage adventurers if they are blocked or are attacked.

	Fasik will not fight, he can’t really, but will try his best to protect the stegosaurus. So long as the dinosaur is not killed, the adventurers can return safely back to the village. If the creature survives, Fasik will pay them the rest of the money, and they’ll earn 2 Fame. If it did not, he won’t pay the rest, and the adventurers will lose 1 Fame.

	The fields outside of the village benefit from a perpetual source of renewed ground water thanks to the Kareis mountains, the snow melt from its caps retreating to the base where it supplies natural, underground aquifers. This interaction creates the flooding fields, where intense spring-bound rainstorms flood a massive swath of land, replacing nutrients on a regular, yearly cycle. The bountiful harvests of Cavesafe come after, as they plow, ~~sew~~, and work the fields year-round, using their domesticated dinosaur flock to do so.
