Travel to Storybrooke can only be done by land, as their main port are not used to travel to other area except to their neighboring colony, Belfast, and also due to the weird condition of the sea near the colony. The path to Storybrooke seems easy but somehow only the local guide can travel safely; the treacherous Sheer Wood is rumored to be 'enchanted' due to this. (meta: any travel approaching especially passing through Storybrooke must notify Dedicated DM)

Yet for those who never been there, or just once or twice coming there, it will be confusing and they might ended up getting lost in the woods, or might as well return to their start line. Therefore, the trip to Storybrooke will always be challenging, even for those who already go there before through uptime session.

The condition will be the same until there are some changes to the colony which can make the travel easier.

- Other Crafting: Unavailable

- Lore (Farming, Fishing, Food Kinds, Herbalism, Hunting) -> Normal Task Level

- Other Lore -> Hard Task Level

- Performance -> Hard Task Level

- Special: Religion -> Hard Task Level (Due to TianXia culture, there is a need of having 'priest' or 'priestess' to give blessings to people who come to the temple. You're having a part time as a 'priestess' or 'priest' on one of the Abadar, Desna or Shelyn temple for giving blessings or helping on selling some charms. If you are follower of one of these deity, reduce the Task Level into Normal Task Level). Due to some etiquette breach (in Tian Xia customs), Shelyn religion will become hard after 895.

At Fail result, you get nothing, instead must pay fine 10gp and immediately deported outside Storybrooke. At Critical Fail result, you get nothing, must pay fine 30gp, immediately deported outside Storybrooke, and may not return to Storybrooke for 1 years. No Assurance can be used. No reroll can be used.

Due to the tight society, no one except the inner circles of Storybrooke can really find the seller of magic item or other items outside the mundane list.
