On The Road
The mules, well trained and road savvy, are easy enough to move. With the sun beginning its descent to the horizon, the group sets off.
Exiting the gates, you begin on a wide and well traveled road. Orchards and pastures dominate the landscape as you follow the road to the southeast. Later, the land to the east begins a rise into rolling foothills. You occasionally pass merchants headed back into Sumberton, but they become less frequent as the daylight comes to a close. The rest of the day passes uneventfully and you estimate having traveled about halfway to where the original caravan was attacked.
Night falls and you pull over to a clearing on the side of the road. Haajyayn tends to the mules and ensures they are fed (provided by the Chicane Guild) and secured properly. After eating your own meals, you set a watch order and head to bed. The night passes uneventfully.
OOC: I'll deduct from you rations unless you want to forage for food.
In the morning, you find yourselves back on the road with much of the same as the previous day. The hills to the east have risen higher and the sun takes a little longer to appear over them. The morning passes, and around noon you come upon a spot where an obvious scuffle as taken place. Double checking the map, you figure this must be where the ambush took place. A couple pieces of broken armor are discarded along the sides of the road, and the dirt still appears to be scuffled. Human, horse and some other type of tracks are prevalent in the area.
