Start

Joran yawns as they assemble in the tavern, his spells prepared for the day and eager to get started. "Alright then, gents-- who knows how to read one of these map things and can lead the way? Where ye shall go Joran the Giant shall follow!"

Irwin comes walking in the front doors of the inn, the military man in him still had him up with the sun and so he had taken a short walk around before coming back to grab some breakfast. "Maybe we should make a plan over breakfast, and get going after that."

Roland enters the inn, walking a bit gingerly, and politely greets his new colleagues.

"A plan would be good, although I fear traveling across unexplored lands while facing unknown threats may quickly alter any plans that we make." he says.

"But still, always good to have a plan."

He finds a table, takes a seat, and starts to fidget with his boots.

Damned requisitions officer! Not even close to what I had requested.

"I agree, a plan and a full belly sound like the way to start our day," Nara agrees, sliding into a chair. "Enjoy it," he adds with a smirk. "I feel like after this, the quality of food will drop considerably."

"Well company we need to sort a matching order," Irwin starts out plainly, "We have four days of walking and nights out in the wilds. Let’s map a trek which keeps us safe as possible, while near a source of water."

Irwin will look the map over looking for a route to their destination that keeps them with either on a high ridge or with a steep incline to their backs, this will limit the effects of weather on them as well as the direction attacks can come from.

Roland watches intently as Irwin plots a course across the unexplored territory. While he's not convinced that the map is really much use, he is nonetheless impressed by the former scout's reasoning behind the chosen route.

"Looks to me as if we have a plan!"

Jeurgen gives the map a quick glance before handing it back, "That way," pointing his axe and marching he turns a friendly smile to Doc, "Lets get a move on hero, Ye won't be finding a better way standin there!"

Seeing the little giant, making little giant strides Jeurgen moves next to Joran, "I need a big favor, I was hoping you could help."

"Oh, ay? Whazzit then? I am always willing to do what I can to help a mate."

"Marching can be distracting, We could use a set of eyes that can stay focused on the road. A look out up high. Big guy like you on my shoulders could give us a height advantage. See things before they see us. What do say?"

"Ah, well, I must say- I'm not what you would call observant. And I can keep up or near enough that I don't need to ride on anyone's shoulders."

Jeugen Shrugs and gives the litttle giant a smile before smacking his hands together and picking up his pace "Lets go heroes! That artifact isn't going to jump into me sack all by itself!"

"I can walk point for the first leg of the trip." Roland offers.

"Shield arm to the outside, if we're walking abreast."

"Walk wherever you want hero, I'll be wherever the fight is"

"I can scout ahead if you all want," Nara offers. "I'm pretty good with stealth. Otherwise, I guess it doesn't matter where I am."
