Lost Old Man Forest Event[]
You may encounter an lost, confused old man asking directions to the Inn. If you take him yourself, you gain a charm point and gold equal to 500*level, but lose a forest fight for the day, every time you take him. If you refuse, no forest fight is lost.
Whacked with a Stick Forest Event[]
Sometimes the old man doesn't need directions. He just whacks you. Sometimes he carries a Pretty Stick, and sometimes it's an Ugly Stick. The Pretty Stick gives you 5 charm, and the Ugly Stick takes 1 charm away.
