You dismount and tether your horse to a post before you knock on the door of this isolated farm house. It is unlocked and the door opens a few inches when you rap on its pine timbers. You call out and get no reply. Inside you discover the main room has been stripped of belongings; only its wooden furniture remains. You conclude that the owner has recently abandoned the cabin and most likely has joined the refugee column heading south along the highway.
You make a search of the empty rooms and kitchen and find two items that could be useful:
- Rope (50 ft)
- Lantern (filled with oil)
If you wish to keep either or both of these Backpack Items, be sure to adjust your Action Chart accordingly.
