"Many thanks to you.  Your uncle has been a tremendous help to me and the Black Dragon Gate Consortium, and I feel responsible for what has happened thus far.  Shedrick?  Make sure Jon is paid timely and well for the work he is doing for us, please."Knowing they were going to be resting for a bit as the repair was done, Hawthorne takes out Argenti's medallion and brings it up to his face.  Having not really figured out yet how the whole process works, he stares at it and says loudly and slowly "ARGENTI?  WE - ARE - STOPPING - FOR - REPAIRS - TO - THE - WAGON.  WOULD - YOU - LIKE - TO - COME - OUT - FOR - A - BIT?  IT - IS - VERY - NICE - OUT - HERE - WEATHER - WISE."A little while later, after downing the received the glass of water and wiping his brow of sweat and grime, Hawthorne pulls out the maps in his possession and spreads them out for all to look at.  "So getting to the Sunsets... we have two choices.  We can travel further south on the Coast Way to Nashkel and then take the Uldoon Trail back up northeast...or we can cut across from here and skirt the southern border of the Wood of Sharp Teeth."[OOC]Intelligence (Navigation Tools) check (unproficient): [15] + 3 = 18[/OOC]He sucks air through his teeth as he studies the map, trying to remember any of the various trails that the BDGC might have used in years past.  Feeling fairly confident in his memories of the area, he glances at the others around the map and shrugs his shoulders slightly.  "I'm pretty sure I know some safe trails south of the wood that can take us east quickly to either Greenest or all the way to Berdusk... but it definitely isn't as easy a route as the Uldoon.  It really depends on how tired our butts are sitting cramped in this carriage.  The Uldoon Trail would be safer, but would probably add several additional more days of travel."He chuckles to himself and raises his eyebrows.  "I guess it comes down to whether any of you have family to visit in Nashkel, or really have a desire to go see the ruins of Durlag's Tower, cause we are probably going to pass by it if we travel directly east."  But after he mentions that, he turns to Shedrick and shakes his head.  "And no, we are NOT going to stop there on the way to go treasure hunting.  I've heard enough stories of that deathtrap that it'd be easier to just kill ourselves here and now rather than let that dwarf's bloody citadel do it."</blockquote>
