Hanable's Hunters, Part I & II

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Isn't it mysterious how Hanable provided us all with Cloaks of Charisma +6 too? Selene really dislikes riding horses, but she will if she has to--is this over terrain where she has to?)

 

[Bront]

OOC: You're roading it for a few days (about 2) before you enter the woods.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Hmmm....I suppose Selene could just walk and catch up to the rest in the woods, where she travels at double speed due to ignoring any movement restrictions.)

 

[Bront]

(Assuming Selene's horse situation is settled in some manor, perhaps she can ride bear back)

The party travels for two days, with little event. Passing merchants do not mention anything strange about their travels. You awake and break camp, now almost a day on foot through the forest away from your destination.

Hobbes - Shifter Ranger 2/Barbarian 3

"I suggest that we go in on foot from here. We can always send the horses back with one of the merchants that passes by and then when we want to go back we can just hitch a ride with another merchant. I am sure they would not mind helping out anyone associated with Hanable."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I agree. Not only do horses ruin the element of surprise, but they are also rather unwieldy in the forest."

Firavel d’Thuranni, Male Elf Rogue/Dragonmark Heir

Firavel just nods at the suggestion, not saying a thing, as everything he wanted to say has been said.

 

[Prof Yeti]

Marek d'Cannith - Human Paragon Wizard

Getting down from his mount and quickly checking his gear one last time, Marek moves closer to his companions. "I concur with the preference for stealth. I have little enough ability in that area, without the horses help."

 

[D20Dazza]

Whitlok drops from his horse rubbing his rear end "Ohhh, now me bum 'urts as much as me back" he grimaces as he stretches, before retrieving his equipment from his horse and securing it about his body.

 

[Bront]

After waiting for about an hour, a merchant caravan stops by that Faravel recognizes as a regular merchant that Hanable trades with. For 2 gold apiece, he's willing to guide the horses back to Hanable's place, and you take him up on the offer.

The party begins to enter the woods stealthily, moving at a fairly slow speed. Selene seems to move through the woods freely, without even making a path, but it is slow going and a bit grueling. As mid-day comes, you find yourselves (other than Selene) a bit tired from the exertion. Normaly around this time, you might take a break if you were on the road.

OOC: Sorry it took so long. I'll pick things up, we're in good shape for a bit. Sorry if I assumed you'd send the horses, seemed like what you wanted to do.
