The word about town is that two more Falconers have died of the blackscour taint during the night, and the news brings a heaviness to an otherwise beautiful day. Clearly, there is no time to lose in finding the ingredients for the herbalist's brew.Heedful of Laurel's advice, the party sets out on the road north, with the intent to make for the eastern Lumber Consortium Camp where Milon Rhodam is supposed to be employed. To Jebbo's relief, Hakkara leads a stout pony along the road, and the beast of burden seems content to plod along at a steady pace.The day's journey is relatively uneventful, lending itself to a relaxed mood and good spirits. There is some traffic on the hard, dirt road besides the adventurers. Farmers, lumberjacks, and sellswords all pass the party by, heading in the opposite direction at various times. None of the other travelers appear to be very friendly or talkative, though.The journey takes the better part of the day, and the sun has already begun to set when the group arrives at the outskirts of the Lumber Consortium Camp. The camp cuts an ugly scar of stumps into a dense stand of proud darkwood trees. Five sturdy-looking log buildings— seemingly a bunkhouse, meal hall, office, barn, and smithy—stand with numerous wide carts and sleds amid the sawdust-covered clearing. A number of burly loggers are carrying out chores in the clearing, but none of them seem to care about the arrival of the adventurers.OOC: The map of the Falcon's Hollow area has been updated in the first post, showing the location of the dwarven monastery ruin, and the Lumber Consortium Camp (marked as 'A' on the map.)</blockquote>
