During the month of Harvestmere, members of Riftwatch will be sent on a few trips in order to better survey regions in the area which might otherwise go unexplored during their day-to-day work. These excursions will anywhere from three to six days in length, and be staffed according to the anticipated magnitude of risk involved (i.e. if you're purposefully going to survey an area behind Tevinter enemy lines, they're probably not sending two non-combatants).

Everyone who goes on a Survey Camping Excursion will be required to keep a dream diary logging the location and severity of any bad dreams, and surrender the pages to Research Division upon their return. Use your best judgment about what you write down, but remember that everyone is counting on your input to solve this problem so we don't all die from exhaustion and stress.

Some optional ideas for camping trip hijinks:

Enter bear, stage left.

Is that a bad dream, or are you sleeping in haunted ruins?

Finding a nightmare-free area and deciding to stay an extra day or two because, uh, the weather is just, checks notes, soooo bad sorry we definitely can't make it back in time.

Rifts, demons, and fade-touched animals, oh my!

Actually being trapped in miserable weather. Early autumn is the perfect time for flash flooding.

Get robbed by bandits.

Stumble across hostile Dalish.

Something else!
