MATT: There you go.
ASHLY: I guess I can lead, since I know where I’m
going.
MATT: Okay. You’ve traveled this path before, so
it’s well known. Who’s keeping watch?
MARISHA: I’ll keep watch.
MATT: Okay. Go ahead and make a perception check
for me, Beau.
MARISHA: Hopefully there are no more ones hiding
in there.
SAM: Do you want to look at the thing, the orb?
MARISHA: 18.
SAM: Okay, you’re good.
TALIESIN: Yeah, the orb, we haven’t–
SAM: We have to look at the orb at some point too
or hexagon. Dexa–
MATT and TALIESIN: Dodecahedron.
SAM: Thank you.
MATT: All right, as you’re heading down into the
center part of the northern side of the Marrow
Valley. Keeping a look ahead, you can see just as
you crest over this one little embankment, the
Crispvale Thicket ahead of you. This beautiful
cluster of dark-green trees. The clouds have
completely taken the sky back and it’s this low,
gloomy gray as the air gets chilly, as the day
progresses onward getting closer and closer to
dusk. You manage to get to the outskirts of the
thicket itself. You see the trees growing thicker
and the actual canopy of dark green pine trees
starting to gather. You now have the opportunity,
if you want to, you can travel into the crossroads
and head north, or you can skirt around the forest
off the path. Those are your– because you
haven’t– you’re basically having to go to the
center and then back north, but you’re on the road
the whole time. Or if you wanted to skip past it,
you’ll travel a little slower– basically a
similar pace.
SAM: But we won’t encounter as many foes.
MATT: Well you don’t know.
SAM: Okay.
MATT: It just depends on your–
SAM: Are we trying to avoid people or–
TALIESIN: I’m more than happy to kill something at
this point. I’ve got some anger and aggression to
work out.
MARISHA: What’s the faster route?
MATT: Make a survival check.
MARISHA: 12.
MATT: Looking about, you gather the faster route
would probably be to skirt around the outside of
the forest. Because you don’t have to switch back
even though the terrain isn’t quite as well tread.
However, you’ve left the cart behind which means
the one factor that would’ve really come into
that, is no longer an issue.
MARISHA: We’re on horses, let’s just cut through.
ASHLY: Do we get a sense of where they’re headed?
Do we see any sign of–
