The night passes without interruption. The sun has just risen on Klagek and the town is waking.
A large group of people has gathered at the north gate. Some in heavy armor some in robes. A handful of children are playing nearby and also seem to be part of the group.
Clutching the sword at his side, Sir Garasthar searches the crowd for anyone looking like a guardsman. If he spots any, he will approach and attempt to stick with them unless they order him to go to a certain position. His senses will be on full alert. This is assuming the guards are wearing some sort of uniform.
He will search for anything that seems out of place. I don't know if it has any modifiers, but here is my roll:16
You do not see anything that is out of place.
You join up with the guards and one guard in particular notices you. He spurs his mount forward a few steps and addresses you, "Welcome my name is Hode, glad to see you made it. Our band is moving out shortly we are just double checking our gear. Why don't you place yourself in the back with the priests and children. They are following us as far as shaderoot. We will be going under shaderoot forest, you can expect some fighting once we are underground. Stay close to the men next to you should have an easy time about this.", the guard rides back and begins talking with a dwarf in fancy robes.
Clapping a fist to his chest Sir Garasthar replies, "I will defend them with my life sir!" and takes his position near the children.
Lwentano finds the local bank and deposits his gold. He finds the supplies he needs and heads to the north gate.
Once there he sees there are 10 guards. One of them is armored and on horseback, talking with Grumar. There are many people in cleric robes, close to 30 along with the children you suspect.
The guard on horseback sees you and rides over introducing himself as Hode, "Hello Lwentano, I am glad you could make it. I am sure you have the information on the mission. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I will debrief everyone tonight once we reach the forest and set camp."
Hode rides forward in front of the whole group, "Alright everyone ready?", he yells out.
"Lets move out!", Hode exclaims. He turns his mount and the group begins following him out of Klagek.
The party is now traveling down the north road threw farmlands. It will take about a day for you to reach shaderoot.
