Out of Character: Wait so there is a bridge? I missed that in your writing. Can you fully describe it and if it would be able to hold the weight of the war wagon?
Out of Character: Yea, since you didn't mention a bridge, I just assumed it was a regular river with no easy way of crossing. Disregard my last post and I'll confer with the team on how to cross.
In Character: Zork approaches the bridge and inspects it from end to end and even goes over with his horse to the other end a couple of times to be sure. If he believes all is well then he commands the wagon forward but asks all those within the walk across just in case.
Zork looks at the hawk to see what he is doing and asks the ranger to go up ahead and see if anything is unusual.
Avan stops his reading while the wagon is stopped, grabbing his bow. When the bridge is crossed, he returns to the book. He is oblivious that the ranger is out of sight ahead of the group. Mr Fluffles keeps a lookout.
Out of Character: I have no problems with saying Teryu had been with us the whole time.
Zork instructs the driver to move on and they continue to follow the road monitoring the hawk and surroundings.
Out of Character: This remains Zork's action until there is something to interrupt peaceful travel.
