Road Reconnaissance – Day 5
The severed heads have been carefully buried, deep enough to avoid the attention of wandering scavengers and the party prepares to depart onwards to the bridge.
First though there is the matter of the brooch, Caradoc takes it out of the pouch and does a double take. Whilst you have been sleeping, the silver of the brooch has corroded further and the willow is now visible dry and brittle. Notwithstanding that, Bazin casts Detect Evil and scans both the brooch (very faint trace) and the Shamans head-dress (no trace). Bazin also notes that the brooch no longer makes him feel uncomfortable.
Caradoc carefully packs the brooch away and the party breaks camps.
The day is dry, and surprisingly good weather for the time of year, though clouds on the horizon indicate that rain is on the way. Travel is relatively easy and even with the party staying well off the road, you make very good time. By the time evening is approaching and a campsite is located, the bridge is already visible in the distance to Kherak.
The party begins to set up camp, digging a firepit etc. Quercius has let Kherak hunt freely when she suddenly gets image from the falcon…… piss, shit, blood big…..
Giving the falcon some attention, Quercius reports that Kherak has found 3 humanoids in the scrub about half a mile away. The humanoids are all similar in size to a human, possibly slightly smaller, and would appear to be alive (there is some movement), but have obviously been in a fight given the amount of relatively fresh blood. They are to the parties South, so further away from the road than the party. As indicated, they are in deep scrub, so it is very difficult for Kherak to approach closer.
……..what next? Evening is coming on, and it looks like rain within the next hour or so, potentially heavy…..
