Wood  Mead and  Roasted Meat. Investigating this event may afflict the participating survivor with the permanent negative trait Pyromaniac, and may cause them to begin to Vomit.

Inspect
''You stumbled upon a large tree covered in fungus. It's the only nearby tree in such a state. You wonder why. Is it because of the golden sap leaking from the bark?''

Check Fungus
Relevant skills:  Harvesting 

''You look at the fungus attached to the bark, puzzled. You can't remember what they are used for... You scratch your head... AH! It's tinder! ''


 * Burn it all.
 * All this tinder... You succumb to your pyromaniac impulse and light a fire with the tinder. It catches extremely well. It's quite the sight. The animals in the tree were not expecting that. You watch them flee or burn. When the fire runs out, you collect the meat.

 * Harvest Tinder.
 * Failure :You scratch the bark with a knife to extract tinder. Unfortunately, it rips a bit too far and nicks your finger. You maybe have lost some blood in the process, but at least you have tinder now.

 * Gather more.


 * Failure :You find a good piece of wood. You pull it out of the trunk. It dislodges a strange looking fungus. Spores are released all over your arm. You brush them off but feel an itch. You scratch but it itches even more. Damn spores!

Check the Sap
Relevant skills:  Harvesting 

''You check the sap. It is very sticky with a nice light amber colour and a sugary smell. You lick the sap and it tastes... AMAZING. It's sweet as honey!''

- Hunger

- Depression


 * Gather some. ( Harvesting )
 * Failure :If you leave the liquid to ferment, it will produce a delightful mead. You make a gourd out of leaves to collect the sap. It's not as sticky as hoped: it leaks from everywhere. Goodbye mead.

 * Success :You empty your water gourd and fill it with the delicious liquid. If you leave it to ferment it will produce a delightful mead.

 * Drink more.
 * It tastes so good you want more. You drink till the tree runs dry. It had quelled your hunger but your belly is still complaining... it was MAYBE too much sugar in one go.
