JA's - The Borderland Keep

" It only took us an hour to get here, " says Tetke. " I imagine we could make it back before it is completely dark. "

The elf reaches into his pack and pulls out what must be some spell components. " Nevertheless, " he continues, " I have been discussing a system of signals with Captain Sky that makes use of the spell I purchased in South Lake. I imagine it should let him know we are alive and well, though it will likely be visibly to everyone else for miles around as well; a series of fireworks of different colours exploding about seven hundred feet in the air. "

"Fireworks you say"..The man replies "They are a signal for sure to friend and foe alike..i would prefer you not set them off. If there are anymore radiers in the area it would draw them to us like flies to honey.

"As much as I would like the rest, we really should return to the caravan," says Edoryan. "We have our men to look after, and we should make our report to the Captain."

"I agree - we should go now. In any case, a few of us will escort the boy back here tomorrow morning. And perhaps we can learn a bit more about what happened here then."

Tetke says, " Farewell, " and urges his horse to take up a canter back the way they came.

"Adiós" says Catylina as she mounts her horse and rides off after the others.

Glancing backward as the road twists away from the farm, the party catches sight of the farmers beginning to sort the bodies and clean up. The journey back is somewhat uneventful, but everone gets the sense that they are being observed.

An hour later you arrive back at the campsite to find everyone still intack and in a defensive circle.

"Did it go well"

 

[Rhun]

"The enemy was repulsed," answers Edoryan, swinging down lightly from his mount.

" However, I believe we should push on to Rosedown with all possible speed, before they can regroup, " adds Tetke. Looking around, he asks, " Captain Sky, do you know of any druids or other woodspriests who make these lands their home? Our attack on the raiding party of orcs and giants was aided substantially by someone making use of powerful nature magic. Someone who did not reveal themselves to us, and may yet be watching... "

 

[J. Alexander]

"We can press on that is for sure and extend the days march by 4 hours. but we can only do that so long or we will harm the draft animals" he says.."Druids..well there are a few that do travel the area but the main on in this area is Brendan, and he stays pretty close to his forrest. However, he does have a lot of visitors and one could be passing thru"
