Savage Harvest- adventure thread

"That's kind of you Aaron..." Sasha says with a warm smile, briefly caressing Aaron's cheek. "...but you better get that beauty rest now. We need you fully rested as we travel on to Mirabar. I have a feeling there will be more adventures waiting for us on our way there."

Quote from Oberon99 >>

"I'm not sure everyone is fully rested yet Aaron." Sasha says, glancing over at Will tucking in again. "I should return to my vigil now, you go ahead and catch some more rest Aaron, I'll make sure no more bidderboos will harm you tonight." She says, laying her hand briefly on Aaron's thigh, smiling warmly at him before finding a position to watch the camp.

New perception roll: 19

 The rest of the early morning is quiet and peaceful. The buzzing of insects an the songs of the earl birds help everyone relax, rest and heal up.

Aaron sleeps deeply, a large smile on his resting face.
      

"Good morning, did you dream of something pleasant?" Sasha says as she gently wakes up Aaron beside her. "Did some beautiful nymph visit your dreams perhaps?" She adds with a soft laugh before moving around to gently wake the others, then having some breakfast and taking care of her flock and the sheep too ;-)

William hums a happy tune as he prepares some breakfast.

Aaron wakes, rubbing his eyes. He props himself up quickly, supporting his weight on his hands, "Yeah, it was... incredible. I was running through the woods and everything was just so real. I could smell the trees and feel the sun, the wind. More than I can when I'm awake, even.. And there were others - I don't remember who or what, but I wasn't alone. What do you think it means?" He begins to pack up his things, getting ready for the road ahead.

Luk goes about saddling the horses and feeding them before they set out 

As Aaron recounts his dream, Gerty shrugs and heads over to Luke to help with the horses.  She calls over to William, "I don't know what you're making, but it smells awfully good!"

"I don't know but I think you might have visited the Feywild Aaron. I remember going there in my dreams sometimes. Who knows, maybe we'll meet there in our dreams one night." Sasha says with a warm smile, offering Aaron some of her breakfast.

"Thanks Gert. Always appreciate the help. How are you after last night? All good?"

Finally forcing himself to get up. Loran goes about quietly packing his stuff and rounding up his Fluffy Children Sheep. Before taking a little break by the fire. Listening in on the group. Lacking any meaningful insight on whatever a Feywild is. 

After eating a nice breakfast, you load up and get a move on back to the road, keeping a keen eye as you pass the hills and boulders nearest the road. A few days ago you were mere children, but today you all feel that tinge of adulthood creeping in as the autumn sun grants its caress as you travel.

History 3

As you make your way and get to the edge where the hills give way to the plains,  there is a lesser used road that heads off to the east. There is a large stone carved to in rough fashion to look sort of like a Griffon.

Those of you with the higher scores realize it must represent the fortress known as the Griffons Nest. An Uthgardt tribes main encampment and trading post. Mostly there does not seem to be a very vibrant trade as inter tribal warfare has intensified in recent year

Sasha doesn't know about any Uthgardt tribes and doesn't really notice the griffon-like stone as she dances in front of her flock, playing a merry tune on her flute.

"Hey, look there! That must be the Griffon's Nest." Aaron states as he points in the direction of the statue. "My father'd tell stories about the barbarian tribe when he'd make his way back home. Not really the most friendly folk, a lot of internal struggles if I remember correctly - always fightin' for dominance and what not."
