Following their breather, the group continues on back towards the Bonite village. Jaronel wants to tag along, curious to see what Castofle is going to do.
Another hour is passed in travel without major incident. One group of villagers approaches from the other direction, bearing a load of fish for sale in Fulcrum. They say that the bridge is still out, but a raft and towline have been rigged to provide easy crossing. They also volunteer that it is being watch by a couple of the village guards and, interestingly enough, several of the headman's "personal retainers" (i.e., the wights). "About time the 'honored ancestor' got off his dusty rear and helped us out a little," the youngest member of the group grouses before being shushed by his elders.
Just before reaching the river, the group once again reaches the spot along the road where the tracks of the ambush party lead into the jungle to the north. A day later now the signs of passage are minuscule but the sharp-eyed kalashtar can still easily spot them.
[sblock=ooc]So, want to check that path now, or continue directly to Newhill? There is plenty of daylight left.
Haven't heard from Only, BenBrown for a while... you guys still with us?[/sblock]
