Travel
Traveling is an active mechanic for roots of the wild. This mechanic allows characters to travel in-between villages to participate in festivals and events as well as perform their jobs in other villages.
Traveling is not required for just visiting other villages for roleplay reasons. It is required for the following:
Participating in Events and Quests
Merchants to buy from other village Vendor guilds
Merchants to sell to other villages
Rolling in other villages
Participating in special weather events in other villages
Trading and Gifting to characters not owned by yourself
Moving Villages
Rudania ⇋ Inariko
Path of Scarlet Leaves
Inariko ⇋ Vhintl
Leaf Dew Way
🧭 How to Use /travel
The /travel command moves your character from one village to another through a day-by-day travel system that includes:
🌦️ Weather checks
🧟♂️ Blight risks
🐾 Monster encounters
🧺 Safe day actions (heal, gather, rest)
Travel happens in real-time, across multiple Discord messages. Characters must pass checks and wait out the journey day-by-day.
🧾 What /travel Does
The bot will guide you through 1–2 travel days
Each day gives you something to do: fight, flee, rest, gather
Final arrival is automatic — you’ll see a pretty embed and be added to the proper village role
You’re now officially “visiting” the new village

🚧 What Will Block You from Traveling
The bot will block you from travel if:
❌ You are KO’ed (0 hearts)
❌ You’re in jail
❌ You have Active Blight Healing
❌ You’re debuffed (bot will show duration)
❌ You're in the same Village
❌ The route is invalid
❌ There's severe weather (flood, avalanche, or rockslide)
❌ You're in the wrong channel
🛠 The bot will always tell you what’s wrong so you can fix it.
🧱 Valid Village Routes
The bot's valid village routes are:
Rudania ↔ Inariko
2 days
#path-of-scarlet-leaves
Inariko ↔ Vhintl

❌ Not Allowed

🌧️ Blight Rain Check
If the weather in your current or destination village is “Blight Rain,” you may be infected (75% chance).
If infected, you’ll get a special message and start at Stage 1 blight.
If you’re already infected, the bot will let you know you got lucky — or unlucky again.
🐾 What Happens Each Travel Day
🧟 Monster Encounter
You must choose to fight or flee (costs stamina)
🌸 Safe Day
Choose to: recover a heart, gather an item, or do nothing
You’ll get interactive buttons for each option. Only the traveler can use the buttons.
If you do nothing for 5 minutes, the bot will choose "do nothing" for you and move to the next day.
🎯 What Happens After You Arrive
You’ll get an arrival message with flavor text and art
You’ll automatically be assigned the “Visiting” role for your new village
The bot checks for blight rain in the destination village too
The whole journey log will be summarized at the end
