A Friendly Chat.

 This was another wandering encounter. The terrain set up was a road running across the last section of the table. The remainder of the board was mostly clear. Three PEFs ended up on the road.
Sam started from the middle of the opposite side heading toward the road.

Sam heads to the road.

Reaching the center of the table PEF 2 was insight and resolved as a Old Male Neutral Pack Wolf (Rep3 Pep1) heading along the road so he was facing away from Sam. Eagerly looking forward to talking to someone Sam decides to Fast move before losing contact with the old man. PEF 1 and 3 resolved to a cases of nerves.

Sam and Hank barter and catch up on the news.

The old man decides to move towards Sam for a chat. Some barter ensues. Sam trades his Medkit for more food and catches up on the news.

Afterwards the two parties head their separate ways. This worked out to be a successful wandering encounter. One PEF was resolved as an NPC. A good roll for how the interaction with neutral NPCs led to a barter session without the need for combat.

The journey continues for both characters.
