Out of Character: We could recon this area for a later stage unless everyone wants to turn back now. I am good either way but I don't want anyone to think I will consider them bailing on this if they think its too difficult.
Out of Character: I am fine with continuing forward. We came this far already and we are on horses. Should we see them we can turn back and high tail it back south.
Out of Character: I don't mind going forward either, but whoever was here earlier had horses too, and they didn't make it. I think, being PCs, we can escape, we just need to be cognizant of our surroundings and quickly decide to fight or flee.
Out of Character: We did hear that merchants can make it through just fine. I agree that we should continue on the road - if we travel by the sides of the road there is no cover anyway and it may slow us down.
Out of Character: Icon when you say agree about continuing on the road who are you agreeing with? Most of us are saying off the road. Based on the latest update we actually need to decide if we are going via the pass or heading north, etc.
Out of Character: I see two posts with people saying they will follow IF others stay off the road. My post was agreeing on the direction of travel and adding a suggestion that staying on the road will be faster.
As for the pass, Avan adamantly refuses to go any other way. The path has been cut so that it's safe and we probably don't have the climbing gear to go any other way (Except Zork's boots).
Out of Character: I am thinking that staying on the road just for the sakes of speed makes us more of a target keeping in mind what we just saw on he road.
