Yes, the dwarf huntress has gone to precure foods. Though, who knows if she'll bring enough back for the whole class? ^^
And you'll just have to ask ol' Grampy what he's got in his cart if you wanna find out. :3

But yes, if you want wood, Springwood Forest to the east of the village is your best bet.

There are pretty much open grasslands in all directions around the village, so she's gonna be spoiled for choice. Of course, as a farmer, she should know that the [b][i]best[/i][/b] place would be to make the fields on the southern (or south-west) edges of the village, to give her crops as much sunlight as possible... Unless hse's growing stuff that don't want sunlight. Like taters.

And for anyone who's gonna wander around outside the village:

The only creatures you'll be likely to run into are small animals like field mice, small birds, regular insects and maybe stuff like moles and/or other grassland animals. As for monsters, as long as you stay in the village-area of the ama, the only thing you should encounter are slimes, either of the green or blue variety. They're non-hostile and sluggish and shouldn't pose much of any threat, as they're scavengers who eat mostly dead matter.
