JA's - The Borderland Keep

" Let's do that then, " says Tetke. " We may rest them a little longer tomorrow or the next day, but mostly we just need to put some distance between us and here. "

On the ride back, Heinz used his pearl of power to recall his shield spell.

Now he says "I gave my word that I'd help escort the boy back home tomorrow morning.

Even aside from that, I don't really agree, Tetke. If the enemy regoups tomorrow - and they may not have the forces for that in the area - but if they do, it might be just as well for us to engage them. Because if we don't, as we saw today, they will attack the locals.

I'd like to know more about this Brendan, as well as the other major players around Rosedown - friend, foe, or otherwise."
 

" Our number one responsibility is to safely reach the side of our new lord and patron, " say Tetke cooly. " I can perhaps accept that, having given your word, you must return the boy to his father's side safely. But having discharged that duty which you took upon yourself, it is more important that we get to Rosedown so that we may receive our orders than to tarry here on the chance that both the raiders return and that these people cannot handle themselves. "
 

"If that is a desire, I can send a small escort tomrrow to return the boy and have them rejoin us down the road, should not be more than a day maybe day and a half difference as were escourting wagons and thye will be traveling free " Sky says
 

"Your call, captain. I'll go with the escort" Heinz says. "It's one hour each way to the farm and back. I doubt it'll take very long to catch the wagons."
 

Edoryan nods his head. "It sounds like we have a plan then. I'll send Nonios to fly above you and the escort...he can cover the distance quickly should you require any assistance."
 

Then we shall rest the remaing portion of the day, resecure the freight for extended travel, and set off in the morning then" Sky replies.

Are there any other issues?
 


"Thank you, Edoryan. The bird may help us spot an ambush in time.

Well, looks like I have an early morning. Good night."


Heinz heads to join his men in their camp, and tells them about the day's adventure.

"Giants! I would have liked to see that!" George, one of Heinz' men, declares.

"I doubt you'd like to see them up close" Heinz tells him. "But in that case, you're coming with me in the morning. Who knows, you might get your chance."

If nothing much happens during the night, when he prepares spells in the morning he swaps out tripping magic missile for glitterdust.
 

The night passes all to quickly and to soon the sun breaks the eastern sky. The wagons are already in line and waiting and with the breaking of full light they start forward a good two hours before the usual daily start.

A small squad of 5 men awaits with the boy for various party memebers to join before it too starts off.
