Chapter 1 - The Whistling Stag
Quickleaf comes walking over to your table, "Sometimes I can be a little forgetful my friends. I have sold you a map but I did not explain anything to you. My sincerest apologies and here let me see it once more so I can explain it to you. See here in the forested area are the possible locations of where the lycanthropes live. Mind you we only know an approximate location as the people who have tried to narrow down their location have never returned. The monastery you are looking for is up here to the north in the foothills of the mountains. The trek should not be too much a problem for ones such as yourselves. Now depending on your mission and whether or not you want to be seen. You should be able to travel just within the confines of the forest along this route and I believe you shouldn't be accosted. Now I make no promises on that but otherwise you would be in full view of most anything around you until you got into the foothills."
"My apologies for not telling you all of this earlier and here have a round of drinks on me. If you do make it back to the monastery and come back this way please stop by and any information you can tell me about the place and your travels there and back I would most appreciate it. Happy Hunting my friends." With that Quickleaf makes his way over to one of the wenches and puts his arm around her and you see them disappear upstairs.

OOC: What's the scale on that map?
IC: "Thank you Quickleaf," after the half-elf disappears upstairs Pemberton turns back round and address the others, "This would seem much more Gripir and Mindals department than mine but if I may venture my input?"
"We should leave as early tomorrow as we can, after picking up whatever supplies and silvered weapons we need. We will also need torches and lanterns and maybe some alchemical supplies. Hopefully we should be able to make good time on the first day through the margins of the wood - but I think that we should not camp there overnight, but instead strike west and camp by the river."
"There we will have water for the horses and ourselves and be in a slightly more defensible position."
"On the second day we can push into the mountains, find a crossing place and camp on the south side of the stream. If we have the time we could check out the ruins themselves. On the third day we go into the ruins, but I really do not want to set up camp anywhere near the ruins themselves."

Mindal Human Scout
Mindal pays careful attention to Quickleaf's information and then thanks him for the advice.
"Indeed Pemberton, I think you have a promising career as a scout if you ever tire of the artist's life. Getting across the Moonwood on the first day must be a priority. We should take into account the season as well.
I'd suggest we get some warm clothes, winter blankets, tents, firewood, fodder for the mounts and extra food."

"Clothes, blankets, firewood, maybe some Endure Elements potions. What about the horses? Will they need anything special or are horses naturally equipped for cold weather?"

"The horses can handle the weather better than we can, but they'll need some extra attention, especially if they get wet or when resting. We'll see what the local outfitter has for them. At the very least some extra blankets to drap over them at night and maybe a tarp to put togehter a bit of shelter would be in order."

"Maybe some military saddles for the horses for those of us with... shall we say "unimpressive" riding skills." Durnn says between sips of his ale.
He turns to Sten "Do you have enough coin for the purchases? Or would it be wise for us to spend a day gathering extra funds for the expedition? I'm not sure what help I can be, but I'm sure Pemberton's portraits can gain us a few extra gold."
