Cold Truths (part 1: The Missing Duke)

[Lazlow]

Swipe picks up three day's worth of trail rations before the group heads out.

Upon seeing the stares from the townsfolk and then the guards, Swipe begins to feel uneasy and walks a bit closer to the larger warriors, and, reluctantly, even the wolf. He is a bit too preoccupied with the stares of the starving people to show the Prince's writ to the guards. He hurries out of the gates with the rest of the group, glad to be out.

==================

OOC: Sorry for the delay!

The sun shines down weakly through the thinning fog, giving little warmth. The countryside outside the city gates looks like a wasteland. The trees have little to no leave left and even the ormally hardy Everpines look sickly. Only a few people wander here or there, usually working hard tending their meager fields.
The city is behind you anad the road lies ahead.


==================
The "scripted" portion of the adventure is basically done. Where you go now and what you do is up to you... >

"Well, Uri, I think I'll take you up on your offer to find us a way to our destination."

 

[Krug]

Woden greets the land outside the city with a smile. He pats Skaris' head and smiles. "Well where to now?"

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Tyler starts walking in the direction of thier destination. "I suggest we make as much headway as possible. There are things on the prowl after nightfall that we should avoid."

There is a pain in his eyes that would break an angel's heart.

 

[Mimic]

Aleran follows along, wary for any ambushes. "I agree with Tyler, the farther we get while we still have light the better."

"Indeed. Our worries won't beging until we are much further out. Let's make speed on this road, and then decide where to change plans later." Uri scans the map. Drawing upon his skills, he will try to determine how far the road will safely take them, and at what point to blaze off into the wild.

Not altogether comfortable outside the security of the city, Swipe wraps his cloak around him and follows the big folks.

Studying the map, and with some familiarity of the area, it would appear that the road you are on should take you, albeit in a bit of a meandering manner, all the way to the town of Armet which, according to the Prince, is just outside the Dukes' lands.
It is just coming up on noon now, there are several hours of daylight left.

 

[Krug]

Woden continues on his way, looking around to see if there's a rabbit to chase.
