In the tavern you hear rumors that the bandits up north have been quiet for the past couple weeks. The last two caravans have made it through without delay. They also talk about some hill giants that seem to be venturing farther south in the mountains north of here. To the east in the grasslands there is rumor of a band of hobgoblin and bug bears that are keeping the roadways blocked from the next town east. That town is a week journey by horse. Heading south by the main road it is much more safe due to the Earls own guards for the first three days after that it is the same as west monster, bandits, and other things seem to waylay caravans here and there. Nothing frequent but it does happen. You also hear of people spotting a red dragon in the north now and then. It has not come close to town yet but some people are nervous.
The group leaves town and heads north again. The way is clear but the skies are a bit over cast. The air has a little bit of chill to it as the wind comes from the north. Everyone needs to make spot and search checks.
Out of Character: Make sure all the information is updated on your character sheets. This includes the horses you have bought. Make sure hit points are full. AC is correct.
As the group moves north on horses you do not see anything or hear anything strange the first two days. You are now just a little south of the path that leads to the strong hold. In the morning you will pass by it and continue North into unexplored lands. The forest is still on both sides of the road.
The night passes quietly and you continue your journey north. About mid morning you come to the road that leads to the east and the stronghold. Passing it by you keep heading into unchartered territory for you. It is shorty after noon that the road leaves the forest and you enter the grass lands and you can see the mountains rising up ahead of you. The hills as you travel will start getting steeper as you continue on. You are about two days from the foot of the mountains. The grass lands have a few trees close to the forest here and there but by evening you do not see any trees close to you at all. Krusten sees that her bird is still flying in large lazy circles not spotting any game or potential dangers.
