[4:29 PM] DM: 13 Pupemont 3Y20

Croysa, Ascus

First light comes and you find yourselves at the edge of town as the guards are opening the gates. Brennys is there, bundled, on a brown horse, her bag strapped to the horse and a bow slung across her back. Another person, likely her friend, is astride a black mare with saddle bags, and there are five other horses- four with saddles and space to strap your bags, the fifth with a bundle on her back. Brennys waves you over. "This is Talon. You ready to go?"

[4:31 PM] Ryleigh: "We are," Ry says, mounting Adventure, who's been walking behind her.

[4:32 PM] Seirixori: Seir takes a moment to talk to the horses, because she does not want to scare them when she shifts.

[4:33 PM] Ryleigh: Riding up next to Talon, Ry hands over his payment and introduces the group to him.

[4:33 PM] DM: Talon takes it, then helps anyone who needs it to mount their horses, then takes the rear while Brennys heads out in front, headed south down the Spine.

[4:35 PM] Seirixori: Seir shifts into her forest-y wolf as they head out and pads along next to Gunnloda.

[4:37 PM] DM: Heading down the Spine, it's not deserted... there are merchants and travelers and guards and the like traveling up and down the road, but nothing of note happens when you pull to the side of the road to rest for the night.

[4:38 PM] DM: Again, we'll be breaking watches in half, so who has first and who has second?

[4:38 PM] Ryleigh: ((Ry still wants second))

[4:38 PM] Urrak: ((Urrak and Seir were first I think))

[4:38 PM] Brimeia: ((Bri can join ry on second))

[4:38 PM] Seirixori: ((yeah, can jut keep it the same. Also Seir's thing only lasts 5 hours so if there's no break in between she'll just double up with Gunnloda when need be))

[4:39 PM] DM: Ok, let's get watch checks then. Wisdom with whatever helps you notice things.

[4:40 PM] Seirixori: ((I have already forgotten, was this what seir had advantage on or nah?))

[4:40 PM] Seirixori: ((er that double prof was it?))

[4:40 PM] DM: Yeah, I think we decided observant gives you double proficiency

[4:41 PM] Urrak: ((3))

[4:41 PM] Seirixori: ((uh 32 lmao))

[4:41 PM] DM: Bri and Ry also

[4:43 PM] Brimeia: ((6))

[4:45 PM] Ryleigh: ((16))

[4:48 PM] Seirixori: "As usual, we aren't alone," Seir says quietly. "Only this time I'm not sure it's what I'd expect." She rests her staff across her lap.

[4:49 PM] Urrak: "Non-human?"

[4:50 PM] Seirixori: Seir shrugs, "Footsteps, but metal is involved. Not the kind of thing normally found on people who live in forests. Armor maybe."

[4:52 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods, "Is it comin' closer or stayin' put?"

[4:52 PM] DM: A gruff voice speaks from the edge of the clearing. "Sharp ears you have girly. You're surrounded. Don't make it difficult, just hand over your gold and you'll be left alone."

[4:53 PM] Seirixori: Seir laughs, "Usually it's the eyes." Seir does dig into her pocket and tosses him what's in there. "Not really sure why you think there'd be more." ((It is only 4 silver, 8 copper lol))

[4:54 PM] Urrak: Urrak stands quickly, "Now get lost, before ye make a bigger mistake."

[4:56 PM] DM: Give me a strength check, with prof if you have intimidation.

[4:56 PM] Urrak: ((24))

[4:58 PM] DM: The voice wavers just a bit at first, but starts to get harder as it continues. "You've got more. Be a shame if those horses were scared off, yeah?"

[4:59 PM] Seirixori: Seir stands slowly, making a show of dusting off imaginary dirt. "Be a shame if I had to talk to the forest while you're still here."

[4:59 PM] Urrak: Urrak slowly draws her sword, "Ye've got ten seconds t' fuck off, or I'll let her do whatever she wants t' do t' ye. An' trust me, ye ain't gonna like it."

[5:00 PM] DM: Give me wisdom checks to hear things.

[5:00 PM] Seirixori: ((14))

[5:00 PM] Urrak: ((15))

[5:02 PM] DM: There are footsteps most certainly headed away from the campsite. More than you might have guessed. The one who was speaking seems to notice it too as he makes generally distressed noises at the fleeing ones before scraping the coins into his hands and following, calling "Cowards!" softly into the night.

[5:03 PM] Seirixori: "More like smart," Seir says as they walk away. She then sighs as she sits back down. "So much for saving that for a churro."

[5:04 PM] Urrak: Urrak digs in her purse and hands Seir a gold piece, "Fer th' churro fund"

[5:05 PM] Seirixori: Seir waves it off, "Don't worry about it."

[5:05 PM] Urrak: Urrak smiles and puts it back in her coin purse. "Suit yerself."

[5:07 PM] Seirixori: "...thank you for not attacking right away."

[5:09 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods, "No problem." She grins, "Guess I'm learnin' after all."

[5:10 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods with a hum in response, her eyes going back to the forest around them.

[5:13 PM] DM: Your watch comes to a close and you trade off with the others.

[5:15 PM] Ryleigh: Ry brews a cup of coffee for herself and Bri. "I figured it'd help keep us warm while we keep watch," she says, smiling at Bri.

[5:16 PM] DM: You don't notice much of anything during your watch, but when the sun starts to rise, Ry notices elven script written into the soft dirt behind where she was sitting. *(The eyes of the forest are on you.)*

[5:18 PM] Brimeia: "Thanks, Ryleigh." She smiles gratefully and hugs the mug close while she sips.

[5:19 PM] Ryleigh: When she sees it, she looks around the forest and sighs. Using her boot she disturbs the dirt so it's no longer visable.

[5:19 PM] Brimeia: "Whassat?"

[5:19 PM] Ryleigh: "Someone was watching us, and I missed them."

[5:20 PM] Brimeia: "Guess that means they didn't mean any harm."

[5:22 PM] Ryleigh: Ry hums, instead of answering Bri. Then she goes about making tea and coffee for the others. Ry meditates for a while as the sun slowly becomes visible, and sings softly to change her spells for the day.

[5:23 PM] DM: You all do notice that a couple times a night, Brennys gets up and checks on everyone and makes sure the watch is up and ok before heading back to bed.
