Scouts: So far there is no danger, but the fog continues to grow denser. Eventually you reach the old rope bridge that was previously crossed. You can not see anyone in this weather, but hear multiple footsteps from the other side of the bridge.
Wagon: Spud's bravery shrinks as the fog grows. He repeatedly explains how he wishes the trip would go much faster, but it is proving hard with the amount of villagers being transported.
Tranio is concerned about the amount of weight the bridge can support. He offers to cross first (with others in the party, if desired), followed by the villagers once they are given a signal, and then followed by Spuds.
"Good trader, " starts the dwarf "You're making us easy to hear and prevent us from hearing the orcs. I'll buy your whole cargo and give you free barrel of beer of any survived if you shut up unless you notice some trouble."
Ooc
[MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION], there are steps on the other side, maybe we should wait and see who goes instead if splitting the party? Good luck anyhow, lets hope you don't have to hold the bridge
"Don't go alone, Tranio. If there is some trouble on the other side, we may need to hold the bridge for the townspeople. That would be my job. Unless you want someone more sneaky along."
OOC:
Thought about it some more If the other side is blocked we're in more trouble assuming this is only real pass for miles around.
“Bluidy fog,” Dren murmurs. “I’ll go wi’ th’elf,” he said, stepping lightly out onto the bridge as well. “I suggest ye get the villagers organized t’ cross only a few at a time. I dunnae like the looks o’ this bridge f’r managin’ a lot o’ weight.”
He pulled his handaxe and carefully, quietly, edged his way across in the fog, trying to peer through the mist to what was awaiting them on the other side.

Aremus keeps his shield on his back and draws an arrow to his new bow. He waves to the wagon to hold it's ground and listens carefully for any sound on the other side.
"People, we go, two at a time, please stand together in pairs. Spuds, I'm guessing you already came this way with the wagon and it held. But still, let's take the cart last. OK?"
OOC: how did the bridge hold when they came this way first time?
