"Danth has a point," says Kael with a nod, having switched to juice from ale a few drinks ago. "It'd be good to either have it known what's occurring at the fort, or have it secured behind us...just in case...then to leave it an unknown."
"Out of all that we can find or do, right now, I think that the fort is the most important for these folk."
"I think it'd be best if we left at just before first light," suggests Kael as he scritches Mal behind the left ear. "That way we'll be refreshed, focused, and have a full day for the trip....that way if we discover things on the way, between here and the fort, we may still make good time toward the fort, yet react to what we find."
"Agreed?"

Jokad stops in mid-gulp his eyes nearly starting from his head. "Before first light!", he exclaims. "This is the last beer we're likely to have for some time; a comfortable bed too...."
He looks pleadingly at Jovik to to see if he has a co-conspirator or is he hopelessly outnumbered by his more practical companions.

"No, I think Kael is right here, lets leave early." says Jovik earnestly. "But let's go get another ale for the road Jokad." says Jovik as he heads up to the bar. Once there Jovik leans into the big Shoanti "No worries friend, we'll be so hammered they won't be able to wake us. And to make sure of that, let's slip out and get a room in another inn. That'll buy us another hour or two of sleep as they look for us." says Jovik grinning as he lifts his mug.

First Post
It is early! So early the sun has still not shaken the evening mist off the land. The horses seem spritely and awake, and the stable-boy was delighted by the extra silver he received for the excellent care he had taken of them.
But it was EARLY, and Jovik had a headache. His plan, a good plan, had rather fallen apart when he found out that by the time he dragged Jokad out of the inn after their fourth final drink, the only other inn in town was closed for the night, and the innkeeper was neither happy nor accommodating when awakened and asked by two rather drunken individuals to provide rooms for the night.
So back to the old place, and four hours of sleep, before Danth and Kael had come knocking.
Four hours.
Not enough sleep even for a Shoanti, and certainly not enough for an itinerant rogue. Still, the amazing breakfast had helped, and Jovik was pretty sure that if he could just tangle his left arm tightly around the rein of his horse he could probably snatch another hour or two of sleep before the break for lunch.

The simplest route to Fort Rannick is along the old road that leads along the bank of the Skull River. The road crossed an old wooden bridge to the western shore about three miles north of Turtleback Ferry, and from there headed all the way up to the impressive Thassilonian ruin known as Skull's Crossing - an old stone dam of immense size that holds back the waters of the Storval Deep.
A side road branches off from the dam about three miles on, and a crooked wooden sign pointing up the trail proclaims "Fort Rannick"
The wooden bridge is crossed easily, but then things take a turn for the worse.
OOC: I need a PERCEPTION check from the most alert individual. Normally this is probably Jovik, but he is not quite at his finest, so someone else please!

For much of the ride that morning there is a wry grin upon Kael's face, so infectious is the grin that some could swear that Mal is even chortling, however the sorcerer is also keeping his focus, or trying to keep his focus, upon their travels. It's hard, though, with his two erstwhile compatriots suffer through the morning.
[sblock=OOC]Invisible Castle is currently down, Kael has a total of +7 for his Perception, which is between skill, ability, and his Alertness feat shared with Mal. Also, Mal has at least a +5...I forgot to Pathfinderize him..done, soo.[/sblock]
