Banking Overlord Zetta and his loyal minions Nanashi, Starfire, Ruffnut, and Alex depart in May, 1848, with 4 yoke of oxen, 1500 lbs of food, 14 sets of clothing (2 of which are just dusk jackets, I assume), 20 boxes of ammo, and 3 spare parts of everything.
GO, BADASS FREAKIN' OVERLORD!
May 4th: Reached the Kansas River crossing. May 14th: Reached the Big Blue River crossing. Wet supplies cost them a day. May 19th: Arrived at Fort Kearney. May 24th: Alex has a snakebite. May 28th: A broken wagon tongue. Zetta attempts to fix it by yelling at it. This fails. They replace it with a spare. May 20th: Arrival at Chimney Rock. May 31st: One of the oxen is injured. June 17th: Ruffnut has measles. June 20th: Zetta guns down a buffalo. June 22nd: South Pass reached. June 28th: Ruffnut has a snakebite. Stop playing with snakes, guys! Zetta attempts to take vengeance, but slays a bear by accident. July 1st: Very little water. Hey, it's hot! Fort Bridger reached. Alex apparently drank the wrong water, as he has dysentry. Zetta disappears for a while, then comes back with 2 sets of clothes he claims came from an "abandoned" wagon. July 2nd: Alex has died. July 3rd: Starfire has a fever. Possibly due to guilt. July 7th: Inadequate grass. A thief steals two frickin' OXEN during the night. July 11th: Starfire has died. :( July 12th: Soda Springs reached. Zetta spends five days burning it to the ground as a pyre. July 20th: Fort Hall reached. July 24th: A wild fruit appears! Congratulations! You have captured wild fruit! July 25th: An ox wanders off. Three days spent looking for it. August 3rd: An actual abandoned wagon with one set of clothing found. Zetta is as surprised as the rest of them. August 4th: Snake River crossing reached. August 8th: Lost in fog for two days. August 10th: A thief steals three oxen?! Ruffnut has got to stop taking second watch. August 12th: Lose the trails, lose two days. August 16th: Fort Boise reached. August 21st: More heavy fog costs a day. August 23rd: One of the oxen has died. August 29th: Nanashi wanders off. It takes 4 days to find her. What the hell was that, Nanashi? September 2nd: Blue Mountains reached. September 6th: Nanashi has typhoid. Shouldn't have wandered off. September 7th: Nanashi has died. Zetta furiously rescinds her 'worthy rival' status. September 9th: The Dalles reached. A thief steals 32 pounds of food. September 10th: One of the oxen is injured. Zetta rescinds Ruffnut's spear privileges. September 13th: Wild fruit! September 15th: Willamette Valley! Zetta and his lowly apprentice have climbed to victory over the backs of his lesser minions!
