The group takes a moment to get their bearings, look over a map, plot where the location they are meant to go should be, and before long Breldo has a direction pegged. Asimi, seeming a bit dubious, looks over it with him and...
Agrees that it has to be totally the correct direction!
And so the group travels for several hours, until they eventually come across a river. A river that is decidedly not on their map, if they had been travelling South-West as intended. The eventual conclusion is that they must have taken a more Southern direction for a while... Demanding a course correction that takes a bit longer to find out as the group needs to figure out just how much they went off path.
Not much of interest is seen en route. There's the occasional wild animal, but nothing that looks like it would want to mess with their group. Khond spots a large beehive at some point as well.
(Would again take a survival check from whoever is leading, and perception checks, assuming you are simply trying to find the right direction again.)
"Rick then told the Angry Woman that Rick had no idea how her goats ended up in pants sitting around the table."
He pauses as he swats away a fly in his face,
"Rick was lying, obviously. While Angry Woman chased the goats Rick was able to get away before Angry Man could escape from the basement. That is why Rick doesn't go to Kyllton any more."
Perception: 19
The story of Kyllton always puts Rick on his highest watch.
"Rick feels that goats should really wear pants more often."
(So so sorry for the long silence. Trying to catch up. Well just say Nuria’s been in a daze this whole time)
Nuria still can’t seem to wrap her head around the fact that there’s an actual flying person with them. Like something from fairy tales. Stories she once loved that have been twisted into nightmares within her mind. Part of her wants to be in awe of the fairy, but part of her reminds her that the existence of such a creature only proves her greatest fear.
She sticks close to Breldo, realizing that she’s been so lost in her own mind that she doesn’t even know what the group is doing anymore. What is the purpose of all of this? Why is she still here? She shakes her head. She knows why she left her home and she has yet to reach the goal she’d set before herself…why does it seem so far out of reach?
Sylvia considers Asimi's question, though doesn't take too long to answer.
"Erm, I'm not sure what I'd even have to say that one wouldn't know... But I suppose an introduction as if you didn't know them? He's one of the titans, so that makes him like, really really strong! I think. I don't really know what it means to be a titan?" she speaks, her form swaying while she flutters in the air, as if tilting her torso left and right while reminiscing.
"But I'm pretty sure there's that one story of some people with the help of gods trying to kill a Titan, and they do it, but then the titan is just back like a week later? That's why they say you can't kill them! They're like super old, and... I think they made a lot of races? Comedy made a lot of the fae!"
"...I think. He also didn't make a lot of them? Look, I never really paid too much attention to stuff like that! But I'm pretty confident it's mostly true. A lot of our kind follow him like some kind of king, after all."
She mostly listens to Rick's stories after that, and seems surprisingly interested. Although at some point during their travels she does ask "So, which cities are you NOT banned from..?"
"Oh, lots companion Sylvia! Rick only gets caught sometimes and Rick doesn't fit descriptions from before five years ago very well,"
A hand absently rubs his missing ear,
"And Rick figures mostly no Angry People even remember what Rick did more than 10 years ago, Rick barely does! But Rick definitely can't go back to,"
Rick lists places for a good ten minutes before ending on,
"..the Funsum Family Tavern, Grandma Funsum is surprisingly agile. Oh, and Rick should probably avoid the traveling Desams Circus and Menagerie, no matter the location."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Asimi doesn't seem apologetic as her memory clearly fails the group, sending them off course for what was turning out to be a considerable amount of time. Although by the expression on her face it was fairly obvious she was beating herself up for her personal failure.
Distracting her own self-depreciating thoughts by listening to Sylvia, nodding along with the fairy's words, "I see..." It all felt... Correct? On some level anyway. A part of her wondered just how long the fairy had in her like this... If everything connected to that building's brief awakening of power slowly fizzled out. Would she likewise suffer before long?
The group redirects their path, and it seems that now they are headed in the right direction, using what few landmarks they can use. There's the occasional ridge or clearing, though the map isn't detailed enough to note most of those. The only real guiding line is the city of Mhurgot, and the "finger of God" a clear landmark, as long as there are no trees in the way to see.
There isn't too much sights of interest at first for the next leg of their journey, only the occasional hints of wildlife should any have a desire to hunt for wild meat. At least right up until Asimi happens to notice that a set of tracks they cross are not from some wild animal. A patch of mud reveals a set of horseshoe studded hooves, heading south from their current direction. Someone was here not too long ago.

Sylvah must have gotten lost in thought as the group moves forward. Sylvia’s appearance makes her wonder further about Comedy and the stories they’ve been hearing. Will the fairy’s invisibility magic run out? If it doesn’t then what does that mean for their quest? Hope? Perhaps.
When Khond stops and asks if his footprints match those on the ground Sylvah frowns. Was that some sort of joke? Is he wearing studded shoes?
“It seems someone else has gone ahead of us,” she says.
Breldo's not too confident about the direction the tracks are heading. Maybe in the direction of Mhurgot? However, as for the direction they came from... It could very well have been the outpost where they stayed last night.

Breldo, determined to get things back on track, plots a corrective course with the blind confidence of the self assured.

Once they're point out, Khond looks at the hoofprints, then squints at his own hooves. "Those don't match, right? We're not going in circles?"

Khond checks... No, these tracks are bigger than his.

“It seems someone else has gone ahead of us,” she says.
(a survival check perhaps if anyone wants to figure out source/destination? It doesn't seem to be going to the same direction you guys are currently.)
Rick looks at Khond's hooves while the ponyman looks and then waves Sylvia up to listen while he asks,
"Friend Khond? Rick wonders if Friend Khond is Friend Khonds own farrier? Can Friend Khond reach all the way back?"
He isn't particularly interested in random, other hoof prints.
Breldo has a look while pondering the logistics of a centaur self shoeing.

Studying the tracks as best able, Asimi attempts to gather what she can as well. Unsure what to fully make of Breldo's estimates.
Survival: 14
Asimi comes to pretty much the same conclusion as Breldo.
(So what is the group doing? Ignoring the tracks and continuing onward, or?)
