Re: [LOCATION] Smith's Gambit Town Hall
Smith replies, "Ah very good! Gruznak seemed very concerned about the chanting heard from the ruins. He has the details, and he'll be providing the reward. How you get to Burning Stag is up to you. Its a four day walk from Fierce Hearts, or five days from here. Perhaps you can get a crystal or two from Hexia. They're pricey, but one would save you a lot of time. Maybe you can sweet talk her into a discount, or letting you have one in exchange for a task. Ruins are a major interest of hers, and she doesn't have time to study them, anymore."
OOC: Note that either way, you will have the option of bypassing random encounters in all but the last hex before Burning Stag, and the Hex Burning Stag is in. You will still get half xp for bypassed encounters, but no loot. Also, Smith's estimates ignore the speed bonus Santio provides due to his knowledge of forests.
