You head back to The Hunter's Mark, and prepare to travel east. You consult a series of maps and think that it will take you about two days to get to Snowsden.
Are there any special preperations you would like to make before leaving Lyn's Ascendence?

Nay. I think I am ready to travel. No sense over preparing now, perhaps at sunrise I'll make better use of nature's blessings. Baerkohm mumbles.

I assume everyone takes a great potion on healing and we all prepare for a dungeon crawl. Wulfram would make sure his armorn is freshly polished first and foremost. How many healing potions can we hold at a time? Wulfram would make sure we have a good amount of rope and someone have a crowbar before we left. Also even a short ride Wulfram would expect to take a horse so he would use his nobility to get a horse one way or another. I also assume we travel with enough rations for like 10 days.

Araaz should be good to go. And horses for everyone is nice. If we all have horses tho, we should get some animal feed for them. No sense having a horse and then starving them to death in a desert... Thx Arina! (If possible I’d like to try to get some antidote potions or something as well.)Btw Wulfram, there are 6 in the party and 5 vials. Araaz will pass on taking one of the potions we were given, and everyone else can take one.

Regarding healing potions. You could probably fit about 10 into your backpack but only keep 2-3 within easy reach, as in be able to use in combat in a single turn.I think at level 5 it's safe to assume that you all have horses.

Well Cailean travels by broom, so if we all have horses, mine can be a pack horse for carrying extra supplies. I have 20 days worth of rations and I also have the decanter of endless water so we won't need to go crazy on carrying water. Plus if we can't figure out the problem with the desert I can just spend the next few months hovering over it shouting out geyser and get 30 gallons of water spraying out every turn. So we can maybe put a pin in it and keep that as plan B.May 12, 2018 10:58 am
You make your way to the stables, saddle your horses and set off for Snowsden. The roads surrounding Lyn's Ascendance are very busy and safe. The congestion is a little bad and you get stuck behind a caravan for an hour or so. But after a couple of hours of travel the road thins out and you set your own pace.
The day passes uneventfully for the most part, and as sunset approaches you come to a small, insignificant little farming village. It has an inn, a market, a blacksmithy and not much else.
You approach the inn and see the wooden sign shapped like a woman's silhouette. On the sign there is a yellow lyre and the words The Bard's Inspiration.
You head into the inn and find it surprisingly full. Still you talk to the barkeep and there are rooms available. 1 gold for a private room and 4 silver for a bunk in the common room.
You pay your fare, which includes a meal and sit down in one of the booths. You can't help but overhear snippets of an exciting conversation coming from the next booth.
I'll tell you we're going to be rich! Do you have any idea how much a nob'll pay for a winter wolf cloak? Gavin swears the tracks are no more than a day old. The pack are heading for the mountains to the south-east!
Quiet you fool another, stern voice interjects.
You never know who's listening.
You look at your companions and continue with your meal.
What do you do?

"Wolves in the area, hmm?" Araaz comments to the others and taking a pull from his drink. "Might be something to think about, or at the very least be aware of."
Also, just out of curiosity, how are we looking at individual wealth? Whatever our background stated or would we have more by now? I would like to take a peek into the market in the morning before we continue if Araaz has enough to be worth looking. You never know what you might find!

Is there a quest/notice board in the inn or did we see one outside? If so Araaz would like to look at it at some point.Also, just out of curiosity, how are we looking at individual wealth?

For future reference, Cailean likes to fly up every quarter to half an hour to see up ahead and behind.

Cailean leans over to Araaz "Do ya even know what a winter wolf is? Sounds cold... I thought we were headed to the desert, ya know hot and sand, not cold and mountains..."
May 13, 2018 3:08 am
"We are going to a place called Snowsden, that sounds pretty cold and mountainy; the desert is an anomaly." Responds to Cailean "As for what to do about it, we should focus on what we are meant to. If we run into the wolf, we can take care of it for a little bonus but it shouldn't be our main priority and we shouldn't waste our time searching for it."

Wulfram has been silent and very calm until the mention of the winter wolf. As the words reach his ears he shifts uncomfortable in his seat and removes a bit of parchment concealed in a pocket close to his left forearm. He unravels the parchments and scans it quickly before placing in back under his gauntlet armor.
"We need to acquire this wolf" he says in a whisper almost to himself but just loud enough you would hear if you were listening. He makes a gesture for Ryki to let him out of the booth.

"Of course. of course." Araaz says, lifting his glass for another drink. "I wasn't saying we should go after the wolves, only that we should at least be aware of their presence. The desert is our main concern."
May 13, 2018 3:55 am
Ryki wasn't listening. He smiles at Wulfram before winking at him "You're going to have to crawl over me. Think you can manage with all that armor?"
