[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5826135, member: 52403"] [b]Setting out[/b] Two days later Hursk mounts up his horse and heads off into the distance with hardly a word; Sayuri is obviously sad to see him leave but it is going to be a new experience for her to be traveling in a party consisting of all half elves. She has not seen so many in one place previously. Sayuri and party set out the same day early in the morning to make their way to Lepidstadt; a journey of around 100 miles which should take them 3-4 days. The first day passes uneventfully; they pass several others on the road, mainly farmers with carts of various produce, a few passing carriages but nothing to elicit a comment. They find a decent campsite and bed down for the night setting rotational watches. Day Two they set out bright and early; halfway through the day the see ahead some kind of hold up as what appears to be some kind of guards are holding up a farmer and his wagon. Kat rides closer to see whats going on and see’s they seem to have some sort of livery and gestures the rest of the party forward; they approach the guardpost with Kat taking the lead. The Guards of which there seems to be about 6; four hanging back with crossbows and two standing forward to deal with travelers; they inform Kat that they have to pay a tax to travel down this road. When asked how much they quickly check the party out and state the extravagant sum of 5gp each. Without blinking Kat agrees and passes over the required sum and rides on; the guards stand there for several minutes after they pass looking at the 15gp’s in his hand speechless mind racing with idea’s of what he going to do with such an extravagant sum. The party carry on oblivious to the banditry they have just left behind and travel unmolested into the mountains till it’s getting close to dark; they find a suitable site to camp close to a small river on a established plateau where it seems several people have camped previously. They set up rotating watches again and drift off to sleep in the cold mountain air with a nice fire to keep them warm and animals at bay.
