Waking the group checks on the rabbit snares if any are caught they are given to Sophia to be cooked. A quick breakfast from their own rations and the group splits up.
Klar and Beowolf head to town to inquire after any rumors regarding movement of the wolves. Klar is to bring back 4 chicken bought by the 6 gold Kalfie gives him for this task. Since the two will be done this task in a relatively short time they will return to the farm once completed and give the chickens to the farmer. The remainder of their time will be spent making repairs to the farm as the farmer sees fit.
Daphne and Kalfie head on horse back in a westerly direction from the farm. They will ride no farther then is safe in that direction then turn and ride North east so as to cut north of the village. It is their intention to arrive North and east of the village around noon and take food at that time. The horses will be watered if suitable water sources are found. Once done they will turn south of south west and ride till they know they will have to turn back to the farm before 5:00 pm. They both will be looking for signs of passage of the wolf pack if found they will stop and determine an appropriate course of action.
Rabbit roll No Rabbits were caught.
Klar shares his thoughts with the farmer as well and the group decided to repeat the prior nights strategies of tying the sheep in the half moon pit with Beowolf on Guard, while the trio keep watch. Daphne in the house, klar and kalfie in the barn.
Once it is felt the wolves will not approach this night all will rest the night in the barn.
Come morning and the rabbit snares are to be removed as with the wolf snares. The two outer pits are covered back in leaving just the one by the barn. The group will then sit with the farmer and discuss where to proceed, both with the wolfs and the repairs.
The group will reaffirm with the farmer that he needs to upkeep the repairs but most important to ensure the stock is put in the barn at night. Kalfie will also ensure that the farmer knows the hot meals have been greatly appreciated by all and that the hardship of doing so is not unappreciated.
On this morning Kalfie takes Beowolf aside and asks, "Beowolf what be ye intentions with the lass Sophia? Have ye thought of a bonding? If not best to put thought in how you will leave her behind." After which he smiles.
Beowolf rolls a perfect 20! Wedding bells be ringing!
Kalfie slaps him on the back, "Good choice ye can adventure knowing the lass is save and have a nice homestead also."
Klar speak up for the group thanking the farmer for his warm food and kindness. As for payment all is refused but he could ensure to maintain the farm and call if he be in need again.
All pits filled and mends done the group wishes the farmer a prosperous year ahead, they head back to town to look for some work to replenish supplies used.
The trio rejoin the farmer and Beowolf after buying 2 chickens (Predressed for cooking.) paid by Kalfie.
On route the plan for the nights activities are made. South of the farm a small cook fire will be made and the chickens placed to cook. Beowolf will tend to them his sword drawn and near him. If the chicken is greeting close to being cooked ad no attack the chicken will be moved to the side of the fire to finish and not burn.
The others will take to trees close by. Klar in one behind Beowolf, Daphne one to the east, Kalfie one to the West. They will be placed so as to avoid shoot towards each other or Beowolf, but close enough to hit what might be seen by the fire light or moonlight.
If the need arise Klar can easily drop to aide Beowolf. Kalfie and Daphne can do the same, though they would have to walk over to them.
They will stay this way till either an attack occurs or it is deemed the wolves will not come. Then the food will be taken back to the house to be ate.
Knowing they are now unable to complete the task as first hoped, bows are set safely aside and hand weapons withdrawn. Klar, Daphne and Kalfie drop from their perch quietly as they can and move to Beowolf. When close enough Beowolf is warned of their approach.
With the tree Klar was in to their backs the four prepare to defend their position. They farm a circle around the tree. Beowolf moves some longer branches in the fires so that if need be they can be easily grabbed and used for light around them.
Beowolf seems almost eager to greet the beasts with his powerful blade.
