Rhys didn't have enough cure spells to heal everyone last night did he. Lets say that the Lady came by with an ample supply of spells for the task this morning, which she does as she gives each of you her Ladiy's blessing. So you are all fully healed.The Lady recieves your thanks with a small hug and kiss on the forehead.The Corporal leads you out of the barracks and through the town to the northern gate and a little beyond. Once clear of the village, he stops."All right lads, you're on your own from here." He goes on to point out the route you should take from here, as well as some landmarks useful for navigation."Good luck and see you soon."The first leg of the journey is uneventful enough. Hadarook takes point about 30 feet ahead, his unstrung longbow across his lap. On his dog, he has little difficulty matching your pace. After half an hour or so the tenderness from yesterdays wounds and this morning's battering has gone and you make relatively good time. But a lack of familiarity with the area does mean you are forced to make a couple of detours and at one point, backtrack for about quarter of an hour. You cross some steams that are easily jumped or travered otherwise. You've been travelling in the direction indicated for a few hours, easily three you would say, when you come to a waterway that is no larger than the the others and also poses little challenge to cross. But Craddoc and Hadarook believe that this is the river that you are looking for and should follow. Hadarook points out that the broad banks, exposed earth and distance of the plants from the water suggest that this is usually a much larger body of water. Craddoc and Hadarook both believe that this would be too wide to jump for most of the year. But this being the end of the driest season of the year and this season being somewhat dryer than usual, the waterway has been reduced to this trickle.As a hunter and a scout, Hadarook is obviously used to living off the land. Craddoc, you discovered during the trip north to Killingtom, is also quite proficient at doing so.Following the water way, up ahead through the trees you eventually spy a low hill about a mile away. Once it was probably completely bare, but now it is now spotted with some light re-growth of bushes and the odd tree. But the outline of an tumbled down roofless structure is clearly visible at the top. From where you are there is little chance that you have been observed and it will be easy enough to get within a quarter of a mile of the structure under cover. But from there, it is fairly exposed up the side of the hill to the top.There is no sign of life or movement on the hill.</blockquote>
