3rd of Tarsakh, 1491 Dale Reckoning - Triboar Trail, Sword Coast
In the city of Neverwinter, a dwarf named Gundren Rockseeker asked you to bring a wagon load of provisions to the rough-and-tumble settlement of Phandalin, a couple of days' travel southeast of the city. Gundren was clearly excited and more than a little secretive about his reasons for the trip, saying only that he and his brothers had found "something big," and that he'd pay you ten gold pieces each for escorting his supplies safely to Barthen's Provisions, a trading post in Phandalin. He then set out ahead of you on horse, along with a warrior escort named Sildar Haliwinter, claiming he needed to arrive early to "take care of business." He left you in the care of his steward, an old gnarly Gnome by the name of Breena Nackle Filchbatter who showed you to the warehouse where the supplies were waiting and had you all help load the ox cart.
"Six of you?" she observed, "One would be enough! The bandits will be back at home with their spouses this time of year, like we all should be."
As your party passed through the south gate of Neverwinter, Nackle spat on the ground and gee'd the oxen to go faster,
"I'll never be coming back here again, that's for sure."
The oxen, being oxen, just kept going at their own pace.
You've spent the last few days on a pleasant springtime journey, getting to know each other as you followed the High Road south from Neverwinter.
Shortly after breaking camp this morning you veered east along the Triboar Trail. You have encountered no trouble so far, but this territory can be dangerous, whatever Nackle may think.

OOC:
As the cart ambles along this beautiful country trail, where is your character and what are they doing? You could be in the seat beside Nackle (there's only space for 1), in the back of the cart, walking alongside, etc.
