[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5299944, member: 64945"] [sblock=ooc]Ok, no word on Jynxx as far as spending surges, but he can chime in on that later on.[/sblock] Castofle collects a pretty generous helping of milk from the remaining cow. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"This skin, I got it enchanted,"[/COLOR] he says. [COLOR="DarkOrange"]"It'll keep the milk fresh for a couple of days!"[/COLOR] Jaronel seems impressed. Hyza collects a few items from her house, then the children and prepares to leave for Fulcrum. Cillani offers to escort them back. [B] "I'll wait for you there in Fulcrum... if I don't get too bored."[/B] Then the group gets back on the main road, heading east. Once more, the terrain and climate seems to change abnormally fast for the distance traveled. Fifteen minutes on, there is a distinct chill in the air. Another quarter of an hour and the deciduous temperate forest has given way to pines and ferns. It's definitely cold - not dangerously so, but Jaronel starts complaining - [COLOR="LemonChiffon"]"It's sooo cold here, ya? T'em Jadites, t'ey crazy to live out here!" [/COLOR]He puts on his ratty furs. You pass a couple of groups of travelers bound for Fulcrum. One is a merchant party of tieflings accompanied by dragonborn and human guards. Their mules are mostly unladen - apparently they are buyers, not sellers. The second group's purpose is not so obvious.

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]ooc: Neither group seems particularly friendly or outgoing... but if you want to try to interact with them, we can "rewind" to it.[/COLOR] Small piles of slowly melting snow dot the road and meltwater drips from tree branches by the time you reach the outskirts of the colony, which Jaronel says is called Spirit's Edge. The air is clear here, but dark clouds loom several miles further on as the road rises up towards the other "horn" of the Isle. Spirit's Edge seems divided into two sections. The first, closest to the road, is a fairly orderly-looking village of small wood and stone structures - houses, a few shops and inns, and a couple of large open-air marketplaces. The population looks to be around two hundred, perhaps two-hundred and fifty. There is some activity, people strolling around and doing business, but it seems a little quieter, less lively compared to Newhill.
