Markham Hall
After waiting a little more, Sir John says, "It seems that all the guests have arrived, for the moment. Jem, if you will collect our refreshments from Mrs. Partridge in the kitchen we will be off." The groom knuckles his forehead and vanishes for a short while, returning with two large, well-filled baskets, from one of which the necks of several bottles protrude. He sets them carefully into saddlebags on a sturdy though far from spirited horse, mounts it, and then reports "All ready, Sir John."
Sir John surveys the party cheerfully and says "Forward, my friends!" He leads off at the gentle pace. He turns left coming out of the Markham Hall grounds, and rides on until he reaches the first crossroads to the north, where he pauses and says "What is your pleasure? The London Road eastward, the West Road, or the main road north through the village and beyond?"
OOC: See the Game Map. If you choose east or west, I may need to improvise more, but I am willing to do so if the party pleases.
