[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6783770, member: 82779"] I wouldn't say that it was a poor choice on their part, so much as it was necessary. When the party pulled up and saw the dead horse blocking the trail with the woods on either side of the trail, they knew that they needed to move the horse to get through. They could have looked for a different way to get to Phandalin, but they were simply given directions on how to get there and had no map. They figured it was a choice between moving the horse and potentially getting lost while trying to find another trail that may not even exist. Additionally, they did send the two most observant members of the party out to deal with the horse. One of the two, a fighter, was the best-armored member of the group. The second came in third as it relates to AC, the cleric was in second place, but he was only one point behind the cleric. The cleric and the rogue, both of whom stayed with the wagon, were ready with ranged weapons in case bandits came out of the woods and attacked them. They were about as prepared as they could have been. [/QUOTE]
