"Alaric and Norali. Do either of you know of a nearby inn? If not, perhaps we could ask for at least a hayloft to spend the night here. "

"Alaric and Norali. Do either of you know of a nearby inn? If not, perhaps we could ask for at least a hayloft to spend the night here. "

OOC: Spot Check result...

The farm house is a two story near-mansion, apparently the home of a wealthy land owner. The perimeter of the fence that Valen sees seems to indicate that the house's owner also controls several acres of land, including the sheep pens that contain the barking dog.

"Hmmm. Nah, we should probably keep moving an' just camp outside when it gets too dark t' continue. I'll conjure up some light t' see by when we need t' gather firewood, but it won't last very long. I'd rather not impose on any of the landowners around here. 'Should be an inn some ways further down the road, but I don't think we'll reach it 'till tomorrow or somethin', considerin' we're on foot." Alaric responds.

Aohdan was very glad to get out of the city. He had not realized just how oppressive it had been, with all it's smells, closed spaces, and bustle. Alarics comment about being on foot made him snort and grin. Aohdan had been holding back the urge to trot all day, but instead held to the two leggers pace. He didn't complain though. He was well aware that they may have to be patient with his mobility when the time for climbing came.

Having a bit of a headache, Estelle watched the first few hours of walking pass by in a blur. Slowly the realization of familiar landmarks started to dawn on her. This was the way she came into town those few weeks past. Her small settlement lay only a few days more journey and the unease of possibly walking through began to grow. During their first stop she managed to eat in silence, sitting by herself in contemplation.

 

[Helfdan]

Valen nodded non-commitally at Alaric's words, but inside, he was glad. He agreed that the less people they talked to on their way, the better. He was pleasantly surprised that the city dweller was eager to camp outside.

Corath spends her day in quiet contemplation of Tarkesi's words, although she seems to have as much trouble as Aohdan in keeping pace with the others instead of moving ahead.

Just as the homestead passes out of sight behind the group, Corath approaches Alaric. "What do you know of Jolithri Tal? I was told he had a connection to the Shadow Knight and the Silver Shadow." She cocks her head to the side, much as a bird eyeing a shiny object of keen interest.

Johen enjoyed the sudden space available to them, the fresh air and he immediately let Highflyer off to see him flap his wings vigorously and take his flight. The city experience had been a rich one, but he was glad to be out of that crowded and noisy place.

He walked happily, leading the mule. He noticed that the halfling was a bit quiet and offering her some water he asked: "Are you sad?? Missing the city or your family already??"

Later as the group discusses the option of staying out for the night, he obviously supports that option.

 

[Arkhandus]

"Hm? Oh, I don't know. Not sure I've heard of that fellow before....." Alaric responds, thinking.

When the group starts to set up camp, it is perhaps a bit surprising that Alaric actually looks to at least kind of know what he's doing, when he helps pick and set up the temporary campsite.

[sblock=ooc]Alaric's Knowledge (local - Azgund) check to see if he recognizes the person Corath mentioned: 14
Knowledge check to recognize Jolithri 'Jolly' Tal (1d20+4=14)
So probably not likely, eh?

Taking 10 on Survival to help find firewood or similar material and set up camp, for a total result of 12.[/sblock]

OOC: With a 14, Alaric has actually heard the name, associated with a high priced tailor in the Azgundi capital who mostly caters to the Lords.
