I think we better get moving fast. Even if we are going to face a storm, we should try to face it someplace other than where we spent last night. We probably should consider traveling right through lunch at this point as well to make up for lost time.
Let's go check out the birds. They are likely circling over something dead.
Let's be on our guard, weapons drawn, and looking carefully around so that we are not ambushed. Maybe one of us rides facing the back, one on each side, one to the front, and Ice driving. That accounts for all 5 of us. This way Ice can concentrate on driving and each of you can concentrate on what is around us so we are not surprised by anything.
Looking at the map, I think we are approaching the boundaries of the kingdom and we must have just come from Greystalk Forest. Is that right? If we go to the edge of the mountain, we can then head back in an easterly direction parallel to the mountains, although there may be some danger in staying too close to the mountains if bandits and others are hiding out there. If we continue east and sweep the mountains edge we will then be forced to move north east towards the east forest, and then west back to the direction of the village.
What we can do is keep going till we get to the kingdom boundary, then stop there and head east following that boundary back to the East Forest. As for right now, I am for going towards where the birds are, and Ice's suggestion sounds good to me.
I think we keep moving towards the body. Let's see what it is. It will either be a human body or an animal. As far as being food, unless we can see how it died, I wouldn't eat it. It could be diseased. I don't think we want to spend too much time with the body, but we should at least see what it is in case there is some other information to be gleaned from it. This game is definately moving slowly. I would think at this point there must be something important about that body. Maybe a connection between it and the ring Kiana has.
Should we continue in the wagon or get out and walk on foot to where the body is?
