Re: Once More at Sea
With no one thinking they needed supplies, the four of you head out of Vendel on the North Road which actually starts out going west. Even here in Vestenmennavenjar at this time of year and this time of day, the road is not well-traveled. Any out-lying farms bring their product into Vendel early in the morning, sell it all day long, pick up any supplies they need, and then head back home to get there before dark.
So, it's unlikely that you'll run into anyone on the road, at least until you get closer to a farm or village.
Thus, you make pretty good time, walking at a good clip, easily avoiding any potholes and ruts. The day is reasonably bright, with only a few clouds. Temperature is warm, suggesting that it might get cold at night.
It's probably time to take a break for lunch by noon.
