Tempted to take stock of the forest, as his mechanics would best allow for, instead Max let his natural sensibility take stride; there is a city, there is civilization. They will have maps. The horses are either wild (in which case, interesting) or they are privately owned (in which case interesting). It would seem he'd play down his strengths for the sensible, wise choice; to the city it was, and he takes a brisk stride, eager but not reckless; he takes a moment to whip out his wand and cast his armor on himself, just in case. He makes sure to keep both eyes peeled around and in front of him, ears to his back, out of a sort of jumpy excitement for the challenges ahead, and wonderment for what secrets could be lurking in any fragment of the game...
[spoiler]Heading for the city (to the left), spot and listen checks, all around him. Seriously not expecting anything, just playing up his attitude. Say I take 20 while walking, automatic of 32 on both checks. For the lolz.[/spoiler]
