Earlier that morning, the last group of grogs and covenfolk arrive, driving the repaired wagon with Valeria's personal belongings as well as a few additional supplies from Durenmar. Volkmar quicky assigns tasks to all and contemplates how each may best be utilized.Volkmar briefly conferred with Valeria and Titus prior to their seclusion, and, being apprised of the previous night's discussions, is thus able to establish the expectations for the expedition, and ultimately determine an optimal distribution of grogs and covenfolk.Of primary concern, of course, is the Faerie stag, its whereabouts, and its motivations. For this, it is imperative that a magus be involved in the expedition. This of course necessitates adequate escort to insure the safety of the magus, or magi, as the case may be, though the decision as to who specifically shall go has yet been made. Still, the lives of the magi can not be trusted to any less than custos. In the hopes that the beast has left tracks that may be followed, Volkmar has selected the young archer to attend the magi, as well.Of secondary importance is to develop a knowledge of the local area. Any outstanding features, as well as the demeanor of the local villages must be determined. For this, Volkmar shall recommend that the elder Mattius attend the expedition. He seems the most knowledgeable of the local area and should be able to assist in negotiating supplies from the peasant villagers. Finally, the defense of the covenant itself and the magi who remain behind cannot be compromised, so some militant grogs will have to remain behind. The lack of combat-trained grogs is of concern to Volkmar. That is an issue that will have to be remedied soon.Volkmar considers having the cook assemble enough provisions for a five day expedition.NOTE: See the OOC thread for additional notes on the expedition.</blockquote>
