Downtime Actions
Camp Runehaven · Seven Ways to Spend a Week
· · ·
Between each session, every scout gets one downtime action. Pick what suits you — sharpen a skill, gather what the camp needs, or rest before the next call.
Post your log in #downtime before the next session begins. You don't have to submit downtime — but it's how the camp gets built, and how scouts get sharper.
Pr
Practice
Sharpen a skill
Pick a skill from your scout sheet. Describe how you spent your time working on it —
who you trained with, what you tried, what you kept getting wrong.
You earn
A Prepared mark — once before the next session, you may reroll a failed check using that skill.
Ga
Gather
Scour the Valley
Pick an unlocked location and describe what you're searching for — a specific material,
a sign of something, or just keeping your eyes open while you walk.
You earn
The GM tells you what you find.
Te
Tend
Strengthen a bond
Pick a named NPC. Describe an interaction — sharing a meal, helping them with their work,
trading stories around the fire. Small moments count.
You earn
The GM writes their response. It may open something up down the line.
Sc
Scout
Range further
Pick a place at or beyond the edge of what you know — a named location, a rumored site,
a stretch of trail. Describe what you're looking for or watching out for.
You earn
The GM tells you what you learn — terrain, dangers, or what waits for the next scouts there.
Cr
Craft
Make something
Describe what you're trying to build and what you're using to make it.
Materials from your pack, tools from the workshop, hands and patience.
You earn
The GM tells you what comes of the work — a simple item, a small advantage, or a useful failure.
St
Study
Dig into lore
Research a creature, a location's history, a magical phenomenon, or an old scout record.
Books, elders' memories, marginalia in someone's old journal — all fair.
You earn
The GM grants you a useful piece of information before your next session.
Rs
Rest
Take it slow on purpose
Clear a lingering condition, tend to wounds, or simply recharge.
Sleep in. Sit by the river. Mend your gear without rushing.
You earn
Start your next session with temporary HP equal to 5 × your scout rank.
