How refreshing.
I love this picture!
1 star (minimal threat).
Can i ready 1 character if i play Snowbourn Scout(Core), place 1 progress token on Old Forest Road while it's still in the staging area?
Negative. The triggering action is the act of traveling to the location. Just putting progress tokens on it does not satisfy that requirement. In fact, if you remove it from play without ever actually travelling to it (via card effects like Snowbourn Scout), you would never get the benefit of the Response.
