"Now that we are all finally here we can move out! Keep your eyes on the look out… there are fewer of us here and being on horseback makes us stand out."
Out of Character: Do not forget your spot and listen checks.
Albrecht keeps a wary eye out for trouble as they travel back north. The landscape is familiar, having passed it for the third time, but he tries not to let complacency make him slack in his duty.
Out of Character: And, of course, I forgot to include the rolls despite posting only for that reason…
Despite the peaceful trip so far, Avan remains wary. Perhaps it was just their efforts that cleared the road up to this point and from here there may be more dangers. He had to stay focused since he no longer had the wagon's protection around him.
During camping time, he uses his Speak with Animals spell to talk to his horse and cat and treats them in a friendly and respectful manner.
Zork is glad there haven't been any appearances of a dragon like last time, he is also happy that the speed of the journey has picked up considerably. He keeps on the look out while checking on Albrecht and his most unusual ride to see if they can keep up.
Albrecht resigns himself to bringing up the rear of the group, but keeps his eyes peeled to make sure the group isn't overtaken or surprised from behind. He is glad that the journey so far has been uneventful, but riding all day takes it out of him. He volunteers to take the 3rd watch, if someone will wake him up. After he sets up his bedroll under a tree, Albrecht wanders off a little ways with Champ to hunt for their dinner. The team makes a fierce duo and they are happy to eat their fill and share the rest with the group. Albrecht casts purify food and water over the food and bowl of water he gathered to make sure there isn't anything harmful in them before eating or sharing.
Out of Character: I am not sure how much of a stickler you are for survival rolls to find food, when ultimately it doesn't affect the story. If you like, you can make the roll, but don't forget Albrecht is 'aiding' Champ (Who has scent) to track animals and then ambush them. The spot and listen rolls are for when Albrecht and Champ takes watch.
Out of Character: In a forest it is not hard to find game so I do not even bother with the rolls I am sure you can find something and help make sure everyone has plenty of game. IF you are going to go deeper into the woods (Anything over a half hour in) then you will need to start thinking of random monster rolls besides the ones I am already doing.
Out of Character: No Albrecht stays close to the camp, just hunting whatever birds and small game is nearby until he feels he has enough to eat and share with the others.
