Theaton splits off from the group. "I am going to go check on my house and see that all is in order there. I will be back soon. Since I do not need most of the items we found I am ok with selling them and splitting the profits. However I would like to take with me the potions of cure moderate wounds."
Jesla is back to normal and riding along with the others. She smiles at the boy but it seems to frighten him so she looks away. Jesla sings a Kellid song softly as they ride along. The young barbarian studies the others curiously, still trying to learn about this culture. She responds upon hearing Theaton speak about going by his home " Theaton, I will ride with you if you wish. This area can be dangerous for solo travelers."
Jesla waves at the others as they ride off. She calls to Kresnik " Stay out of trouble my friend. " She checks that her lance, bow and great sword are in place. Jesla looks around curiously as they ride toward Theaton's home. The barbarian is curious to see where the ranger lives after all she has heard about it.
Kresnik chuckles, "I can make no promises on that front. Jesla, Theaton, take care."
Kresnik spends time on the ride home studying the horseshoes. It may not make sense keeping the set for now, but it may be worthwhile to know how to make several sets of them for a group's use.
Theaton with White fang scouting ahead and to our sides heads to his house at the edge of the woods. HE dismounts in front of his place and leads his horse to the side where a small corral is at. After taking care of his horse Theaton walks back in front, "Welcome to my home Jesla. I hope you find it peaceful here." He will open the door and indicate for her to make herself at home.
Jesla smiles as she eyes Theaton's home. " It is a wonderful home Theaton. Truly a peaceful home. " She takes his invitation and wanders his home for a moment. " It must be hard for you to leave this beautiful, quiet home to travel to and live in Freehold. It is beginning to get crowded there. " Her idea of a settlement being crowded is different than most.
The boy, Tig, is a little confused about the mixed message of the area being dangerous while Theton and Jesla run off. Archival's subtle word choice does not help clarify. He responds with a non-binding, "I'll be sure to be more careful."
The fog lifts at midday and the cavalry archers start a perimeter patrol as you approach Freehold. You reach the town just before nightfall.
Reaching the Tannersen household, Sasha opens the door instantly and lifts Tig, smothering him with kisses as he tries to avoid them. After a half-minute, she sets him down, and with an exhausted-sounding voice says, "Thank you so much! I was so worried for him and for you! I can't believe it took so long to find him!"
