LMoT - Return to Phandalin

Leaving Old Owl Well you head back towards the Triboar Trail and Conyberry. You stop in the abandoned village again and take shelter in the same building you did previously.

Hammer 1, 1492

The night is cold and quiet and you awaken to a new year but the same brutal cold weather. You eat what you can and attempt to stay warm as much as possible and decide to get back to Phandalin sooner than later. You head west on the Triboar Trail heading back. After a half a day of travel you begin to notice a figure in the distance on the trail. It is moving steadily from what you can tell but you are definitely making ground on it. At this pace you will overcome it within the hour.

  After glancing into the ring's arcane nature, I hand it over to Spark.

— You stay on the frontline, so this should keep you ... safe-er.

— Oh waow, really? I mean, it certainly makes sense, but it amazes me that you hand it to me like. Maybe we just met on a bad day... After a second lost in thoughts, a broad smile illuminates my face and I accept the valuable gift.
Well thank you, I really appreciate it! I already owe so much, and this further increases my debt to you. I'll do my best to put it to good use so that its protection serves you as much as it serves me.
I then go to our artificial friend, and hand him the magical longsword I've been carrying for several days now. Do you think this mighty weapon may serve you? I've been delighted and honored to use since we found it, but I must admit it is a bit heavy for me to use it comfortably.

Nine looks over the blade and ponders, This one would be honored to wield such a blade but are you sure you do not wish to use it?

— You have proved to be a worthy fighter and an honorable ally. And even if I love having such a powerful sword in my hands, I'm aware that I'm not as good with it as I am with... well, my good old swords here. I tend to favor lighter blades so that they don't impede my mobility.

Letharia continue to walk with her mind on her task. As she walks she keeps an eye on her surroundings while keeping her cloak pulled around her from the cold. Finally, after some time with a quick look over her shoulder notices that there is a group of travelers behind her.

She thinks about quickening her pace but then seeing that one of their members is pretty big decides that if they want to catch up they probably can. Best to save her energy if things go bad. Besides it is probably nothing but her own imagination. It is a road after all and she is most likely not the only traveler to be on it.

OOC:

Spark, you're right! I missed the edit!

The construct smiles, [b]Many thanks, Spark. This one will make good use of the weapon. Nine takes the magical blade. Swinging the blade through the air a few times Nine points ahead of the group, What do you think that person is doing out here alone? It is too dangerous to travel by one's self.

— Sometimes it's better to travel alone, Nine. - I say while looking at the back of the person moving further ahead.
