Now, with the shopping done, the open East Gate beckons towards a humble dirt road. Four days ahead a small collection of houses quietly guards the point where the road continues unmaintained into the darker, denser forest.

Inside one of those homes, two women dressed in rough woolen dresses and cloaks hold mugs of tea in their hands, warming themselves after finishing the washing. The woman closest to the fire’s warmth places her hand on the other’s shoulder. “We won’t let it happen again”, she whispers firmly. “Not here.”

Finally, they had come to what seemed to be the "hamlet". To call it that was being generous. It was more of a permanent gathering of a handful of people. Inside one of the houses there were people talking and instead of minding her own business, Sarah would peek. Well, not peek, but butt in. She approached awkwardly, because she wasn't a face. "Good day. Forgive the intrusion. We are the Jade Talons, working under the Silver Hawks, from Keri's Crossing. We are here to investigate Mosswood. Would you care to take us in and share any info you might have with us?" She hated doing that. She would rather prefer another person would be the face of the team.

Shall we pretend it didn't happen?

OOC: Mechanics:

• Subtract 4 rations per character, to represent the 4 days of travel
• Subtract 8 days of animal feed, for the two mules

I was hoping we wouldn't have to spend rations because we were foraging. We have plenty of people capable of doing it. Also, can't the mules eat the grass growing in the ground?
