prophane Posted February 23 Clone Share Posted February 23 (edited) Location: The road to Artonbruek, south of Rookroost, Bandit Kingdoms Date: Earthday, Sixth of Growfest (festival week) Time: around 9:30am Weather: Cold, 48°, cloudy skies and mild wind from the south Sunrise/set: just after 6am/ just before 6:30pm Character Present: Arwi, Finn, Kelarith, Nessia, Rindo, Snowbelle Amira leads the group back out through the Funery Gate under the watchful eye of Grindell, the huge Half-Orc guard. He once again gives Arwi a steel-eyed glare as he goes through the gate, but does not say anything. There are several Iuzian patrols around, though most of them are watching people coming in to Rookroost as opposed to leaving. Amira explains that they will travel south to the small village of Artonsbruek on the Artonsamy River, take the ferry across, then travel south to Kinmeet, over a week to the south. Her plan is to move fast and not stop over in any of the towns or villages along the way, to make better time and to help keep Rindo safe. The trip to the ferry should only take a few hours, though, and that is their first destination. Once the outer city of Rookroost is passed, she pauses the wagon and lets Rindo climb out of the very small and cramped hiding spot. He is happy to be out but keeps his hood pulled low over his face as often as possible. There is very little traffic on the road this day, for that everyone is thankful. The road south is rugged and rocky. Amira's wagon bucks and bounces nearly the entire time. Someone has to stay out ahead of the oxen to make sure they do not step in any dangerous ruts or on any rocks. The danger of twisting an ankle to two and four legged travelers is great. Sparse farms can be seen along the roadside, some with people out working the fields. Any time someone in a field spots the wagon and travelers, they immediately retreat to rugged little farmhouses nearby. The ground looks difficult enough to farm, and these people have to deal with bandits, monsters, and Iuzian patrols as well. It is a wonder anyone lives here at all, sometimes. As the group crosses a low rise, Snowbelle, who happened to be up ahead leading the oxen, sees smoke drifting up from near a copse of trees, just to the left of the road.

"That's the trouble with living here, ya know? They don't call it the Bandit Kingdoms for nothing. I'd heard word of increased attacks on traders to the south, but I assumed they meant on the other side of the Artonsamy, not this close to Rookroost. But still, there may be some wounded, or left behind goods...." she trails off, thinking. She continues leading the wagon along the rutted path, slowly, until it is even with the ambush scene. She nods toward the wagon and bodies, is if to say "go check it out." OOC There are definitely places ambushers could be hiding, by nothing great within 15-20 yards at least.
