[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8441441, member: 59816"] The group quickly said their farewells to friends old and new, and made their way northward at a brisk march. Escella led the group along old forgotten roads and trails. Late in the afternoon, they came to the edge of a forest. It was evident that the woods had once been cleared for a noble's hunting ground, but its upkeep had been abandoned long ago. Rising above the trees was a lonely round hill, with an old trail that passed through the forest and wound up the hill's southern side. On top of the hill, the crumbling outer wall and a forty-foot tall tower was all that remained of Harpshield Castle. At the edge of the forest, garding the trail, was a trio of orcs, watching the way. They were not particularly attentive, and would be easy enough to avoid (or murder).
