Kelnin bids you farewell and Godspeed as you begin your job.
The Party Sets Out
After spending the rest of the day picking up any last minute essentials and securing horses from the Grand Stables of Venza, you decide to head out at first light the following day.
The next morning, the sky threatens rain as light gray clouds loom over Venza. Everything secure and ready to go, the party sets out.
As you head eastward along the Eastern Trade Route, you easily locate the southward road to Capoe after about an hours travel. A Venzan patrol, obviously returning to the city along the trade route, hails you as you begin to turn south. After they are convinced that you are not ne'er-do-wells, they warn you that there was an orc attack on a merchant several miles east yesterday. The merchants guards were able to drive them off with no casualties, but you should still be careful.
By mid morning, the threat of rain becomes a reality and the sky opens up to soak you to the bones. Along the little used road to Capoe, this makes the going very slow. What should have been a single days ride will clearly take longer.
Even though the rain lets up in the early evening, you believe there are likely 3 leagues to travel, and probably not a good idea at night.
You find a suitable camp spot and begin setting up camp for the night.
[sblock=Game Information]It is early evening and still there is still light, even though it is overcast. I've placed you all on the map but I am not clear who leased horses and ponies so I will need to add those.
I will need you to each roll a perception check and initiative, as you are going about your business directly after camp is set up.
Also, if you are unhappy with the token I created for you, please let send me an image you would like me to use instead. You can find the tokens on the map and I have added them to the first post.[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC GM Absence]I apologize for not getting this up sooner, but multiple factors conspired against me this weekend. One of the biggest distractions was not understanding map software but I've got that fixed now![/sblock]
