They’re not the kind of people that can defend it, so
it’s maintain mystery and keep pushing.
SAM: All right. We can go.
MATT: Okay. You continue on. On this next leg of
your journey, we’re riding on your perception roll
off the road, your natural 20. I’ll let that stand
for a bit. The pace that you’ve been keeping on
this without being kept by your cart has gained
you quite a bit of ground and about another two
hours or so into this afternoon, your eyes catch
another cluster of carts facing the same direction
you are.
ASHLY: Can I make a perception check on this one?
MATT: You may.
ASHLY: 15.
MATT: It takes you a moment of getting close and
you’re about, I’d say, a quarter mile back from
this troupe. You can see the familiar two larger
carts, one smaller. It stinks of familiarity to you.
ASHLY: This might be them.
MARISHA and SAM: What?
MARISHA: Did we catch up to them?
ASHLY: We may have.
SAM: Caleb, look at this picture of you in
Jester’s book. It’s really funny.
ASHLY: It’s not the time, Nott!
SAM: Oh, no?
MARISHA: We shouldn’t clue them off that we’re
here.
TALIESIN: No, let’s slow our pace.
MARISHA: Okay. Maybe a couple of us could flank
around? What’s the terrain?
SAM: They’re moving, right?
MATT: They’re moving, yeah.
ASHLY: Can your owl see if there’s a big human
man, fighter-looking guy?
LIAM: Bigger than average-sized man, you mean?
ASHLY: Yeah. He’s pretty surly, intimidating
looking. He might have a half-elf with him.
LIAM: Well, we’re about to get into it, yeah?
TALIESIN: I think we should wait until they start
to set up camp. They’ve got to stop at some point.
SAM: We don’t even know who they are yet, though.
MARISHA: What time is it?
MATT: It’s mid-afternoon at this time. You’ve been
traveling since shortly after daybreak, so it’s three
o'clock in the afternoon. You have another hour or
so before you hit your eight hour mark and your
horses start tiring and you start tiring.
MARISHA: We’re nowhere near Shadycreek?
MATT: You’re a couple days’ travel or so from it
at this pace.
TALIESIN: They’re going to have to camp.
LIAM: I’ll tell you what I do is, I dab my thumb
into my belt for a bit of sweet oil and I rub it
on my bottom lip and mutter an arcane word or two
and say: I suggest you tell us any details you’ve
been holding back about these people so that we
are fully prepared. That is a Suggestion spell.
