What your character writes in the journal as the quest progresses.

That was a risky fall. Anders is right, I should find some wood.

With wood and stones ready, it’s finally possible to put together a proper campfire.

At least there’s something to burn. Now all that’s missing are some stones to keep the fire under control.

The fire brings some relief, but the body is still drained.

Crude, but effective. At least now gathering won’t be such a struggle.

With the right tools ready, more solid materials are finally within reach.

Basic equipment is complete. There’s no reason to stay out in the cold any longer.

Strength slowly returns. Time to focus on proper tools instead of bare hands.

Will need a some kind of weapon in case of a fight. I should craft myself a bow.
