i wont have time to do all the prompts this year but i really cant pass any opportunity to at least doodle mr beyond birthday (ft L himself, as a treat)
L is the wagon leader and Near, Mello, Matt, and Beyond are the party members.
I chose the carpenter from Ohio (medium difficulty).
I decided to leave in April (March was too early without any grass for the oxen to eat, but I want to arrive before winter sets in).
I had $800 to spend at the general store. (It was called Matt’s General Store lol)
I bought:
6 oxen ($120)
2000 lbs of food ($400)
15 sets of clothing ($150)
10 boxes of ammunition ($20)
3 each of spare wagon wheels, axels, and tongues ($90)
I had $20 leftover.
I set the food rations to meager and the pace to strenuous (both medium difficulty).
Time to hit the Oregon Trail!!

will you be able to solve B’s IMPOSSIBLE crossword puzzle and help them go in the right direction, before abbie rips B’s head off for waking her up at 6am???????????
An underrated B moment is when he attacked Naomi with a bag filled with sand “to test her ability”, drove away with a stolen sedan, abandoned the car and evidence at a parking lot, cracked his neck and then just walked away with his “head still hanging at an odd angle”
