It is midday, around noon. In the forest, you can see the telltale signs of abundant wildlife, as well as decent forage. You should not want for food, as long as you're careful with what you eat. The river is a good 8 hours away, assuming there is no setbacks. You have six hours till dark.[/sblock]
The blue Dragonborn turns to the other after waving his flail about a bit, trying it out. "Introductions should be first," he said. "I am Kerhylon Medrash, heir to the Kerhylon clan.
